I would recommend Black Australorps, Barred Plymouth Rocks, Buff Orpingtons, and Easter Eggers. All of these breeds should be easy to find and are great egg layers that also gain enough weight to make a good eating bird. Over the past few years I have raised Dominques because I liked that they have good survival traits: foraging and protective roosters. However, I don’t free range them due to predators so I have decided to go back to the breeds I mentioned previously. It now makes sense for me to raise the more productive breeds because it costs about the same to feed them as the less productive breeds like Dominques. But Dominques might be a great fit for others. Everyone’s situation is different.
