[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 642693, member: 7645"] Australorps are the absolute best dual purpose chicken breed in the world. They are Black Orpingtons which were carefully selected and linebred for their meat and egg laying abilities by animal scientists in Australia in the first half of the 20th Century. They are hardy, grow relatively quickly, have a nice carcass, and are prolific brown egg layers. Stay away from the Fayoumis. They have a stringy carcass with a lot of connective tissue and lay little white eggs. Also avoid any of the Giants. They are about half the size of a turkey, have a good carcass, but in the Alabama heat they drop over dead. [/QUOTE]
