Welcome to BYC!

-Egg Laying Chicken--Eggs don't taste noticeably different. I want a bunch of healthy mutt leghorns so I can have lots of eggs.
- Meat Chicken--Cornish Cross. Why spend more effort on meat than you have to?
- Duck--Jumbo Pekin. Again, why raise a smaller breed that's going to be tougher when you butcher because it took time to get it to weight?
- Goose--never met a goose I liked.
- Turkey--Never had a turkey. White, I suppose.
- Pig--Dad used to raise mutts. Never noticed a difference in taste between breeds.
- Dairy Cow--Jersey/Brown Swiss cross. Lots of butterfat, more milk than a pure Jersey.
- Meat Cow--Hereford. Gentle, better marbling than an Angus, and I like the looks.

Wow. Don’t have a lot of experience with pigs, turkes, and cows, but I would like a Silkie, a BR, and a Jumbo Pekin.

Duck: If for eggs only I'd lean towards Runners because they have an extremely efficient conversion and make the most eggs with the least feed. Some breeds may lay more eggs or bigger eggs, but may take considerably more food. A Pekin takes almost double the food for the same output.

 

[BantyChooks]

-Egg Laying Chicken: Chanteclers. Or White Leghorns, if I lived down south.
- Meat Chicken: Chanteclers. Or CX if I didin't go heritage. Chanties are real chooks though so they win in my world.
- Duck: Just one? Probably Welsh Harlequins
- Goose: Dunno, I don't keep them
- Turkey: Royal Palms, BBW if I only want meat
- Pig: Tasty ones---I am not a pig person
- Dairy Cow: Jersey
- Meat Cow: Wagyu
