Finally got out to the country and now need chickens. I want about 25 chicks to start off with. Put 20 of them in the freezer after growing them out and save 5 for egg laying. I will do my own "processing" as I have dressed out uncounted game animals over the years.
What breed is the best for both eggs and meat? These will be free range as I have a yard full of bugs and little money for feed. I live in the deep south and these babies will have to deal with 100 degree heat and 98% humidity for most of the summer.
Thanks for answering a question that has probably been asked 50 times.
