[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1530645, member: 25884"] Most of the breeds of chickens that are in the "English" class were bred to be dual purpose fowl. They all have white skin and were preferred for table fowl. Naturally Cornish being the most developed for eating. As were the Dorkings. They are supposed to be very tasty birds. Sussex are also one of the breeds. There are several colors but speckled is the one most seen. All the breeds in this class are considered to be desirable for eating with sufficient eggs to make keeping them profitable. I also like a few breeds in the American class and a couple in the Continental class. Faverolles are supposed to be a dual purpose breed and there are few bred today. There are a few different colors. Also Welsummers are in that class. I'd like to get some dorkings and faverolles. Right now I have standard Black Langshans and New Hampshires. Raised Lt Brown Leghorns but there is no meat. I like the Welsummers as they have a somewhat similiar but darker color pattern to the Brown Leghorn but they are also layers of very dark brown eggs and good foragers. [/QUOTE]
