I was wondering if someone with more experience than me could educate me on which purebreds I could use to create a reasonable backyard broiler flock? I have tried BO and they are ok but certainly not particularly meaty. I was wondering about trying dark cornish over orpingtons or even cochins (I have a small flock of giant standard cochin pullets...) What have you tried and found to be useful. We really want to get away from ordering chicks or eggs every year so that we can be more self sufficient... I would love to hear what crosses are good even on a backyard scale...
