hello, first off I would like to say don't listen to back yard chicken fourms, they are very biasised. I got banned for giving there number one chicken a bad revew. Thay only want to here the good but not the bad lol As far as your question I have had 24 differant chicken breeds.Ii tend tojudge chickens in a differant light than most people.I look for taste and quality of meat most of all then eggs then broodyness as i like for the hens to raise there own chicks. I culled out my bard rocks and many others and setteled for buckeyse, dorkings, cornish, new hampshires, donineques rhoad island reds, and javas. These are the only chicken breeds i will keep now because of the tast and quality of meat size if eggs and being able to forage up there own food and they sit there won eggs. These chicken breeds rock!!!
