Meat birds are usually Cornish Crosses which have a very short life span due
to their breeding. They get big and fat too fast.
Standard breeds, like White Rock, Delawares, Orps, can be used as a meat bird
but grow slower and can live for over 10 years.
Leghorns, like the one in this post, are egg producers but can still be eaten. Ya
gotta do something with all the roosters.
