What breed do you suggest fast growing, good laying~ non hybrid

Rocks are very dependable layers and seen turned well as far as temperment. They tend to grow more quickly than Orps.

My rearch tells me that Delwares and white rocks are fast growing dual purpose birds. I grew out a dozen cornish crosses last fall. The hens were great. I detected an odor while butchering the males and the meat tasted like that. Maybe 10 weeks was to long. I cannot find a hatchery to sex them so I am moving on. In your opinionwhich has the better breast Dels or Whites?
