I am in agreement.
We were considering cornish X's, but thought the results were a bit.... well.... too much& seemed very unnatural.![]()
I wanted a humane flock that would be happy & not die from health issues at 12 weeks.
Again considered a good laying breed like the RIR or Warren breed, but I thought they would be too noisy in a town.
Happy with my quiet mutt flock, they produce lots of eggs & enough meat to per carcass to feed us all. Even our Roo is pretty quiet. In a town that is important.
I have RIR hens and GLW cock. They have 11 eggs in incubation and Im betting they will still look like cute little chickens and more than likely be a golden laced red variety of either breed. Or look like one or the other breed.
