    You will likely want to do both layers and meats. I have no idea where you are and that would make a difference on best breeds. I messed up on my first go around with chickens, I went with the cutest instead of the best for my area. I will be restructuring in the spring. I strongly suggest finding out which breeds work best in your area and picking the one you like best from there. Also, your layers and your meat birds grow at different rates. Getting a dual purpose bird is going to reduce your egg count and lengthen your growth times. That’s counter productive for both causes, so I would look into each type and select a breed that does well in your area. But, as always, this is only my advice and it came free.

    Her body knew better than I did! I’m guessing what we saw wasn’t actually what we saw. 10 days after her estimated due date, she’s frantically nesting and has started squirting colostrum

    Our Angus and Charolais do just fine. Also, we have tons of jersey and Holstein dairies around us. Probably shouldn’t tell them that their milk is subpar.

    It’s the difference between expecting everything to go your way and having to figure out how to pivot when things don’t.

    Thank you, I will. She has been separated for a couple of months with her bonded friend next to her.
