Im looking for a breed to use for meat chicken but Im not too keen on cornish-x or freedom rangers from what I have read. I want a breed that I can keep a few hens and one rooster to have my own supply of meat birds every year. I was looking through the site here and googling but I came across the White giant from Murray hatchery.. http://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/white_giants.html its from the Jersey black giant. You think if I feed the butcher ones high protien feed that they would be ready by 11 weeks or need to wait till 15 weeks or would they not taste good by that age.... (first time for doing meat birds)
