I am looking for a breed that lays at a minimum of XL (63g) eggs fairly consistently, gets large enough to eat (I cull my roosters for stock/soup) and is not expensive.
You can't have it all.I should have also asked in my original post, but in any of these breeds do you find the hens to go broody? It's actually a trait I would be looking for.
Any bird can be eaten, especially for stock/soup.
Egg laying breeds are not going to be meaty like Cornish Cross/grocery meat birds.
Any bird can go broody too, but there are no guarantees.
An impossible bar.Your wish list sets a very high bar. Might want to re-evaluate what is most important to you.
Expectations definitely need to be assessed.
