Let's keep this sane, OK, people?

From what MissPrissy said, it sounds like the term dual purpose has little meaning today, because most heavies are called "dual purpose" even though one or the other trait may be sacrificed. However, I believe that the old American breeds are still capable of "dual purpose" work--decent egg laying from the hens and a meaty male crop at a relatively early age. Of course, they can't be 100% in both categories, but don't you think that the heritage breeds--Dominique, Wyandotte, BR, Delaware--can come close?

It was just a simple thought, not debate, or whatever. I was just hoping to see some chickens that weren't broilers, before and after they were butchered. I thought it would help people who have all sorts of questions about "dual purpose" breeds. I am not sure how it got so ridiculous but I am sorry I ever posted. Apparently I'm an idiot and don't know anything about chickens. Sigh. If anyone would like to post pictures of their non-broilers before and after they were butchered, WITHOUT discussion about if all my terms are right please post them for me and others who are actually interested. I would appreciate it.

Becky, I thought your request was reasonable. I, too, would like to see after pictures of the so called "dual purpose" breeds. I guess we're both crazy.

Thank you. There were so many questions about butchering dual purpose breeds that for some reason I thought it would be of interest to several people. I do understand that they are not going to look like broilers but I thought it would help if everyone could see what they do look like. For some reason I just thought we'd get pictures of chickens butchered.
