Netter 0 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Hybrid hens will lay you the most eggs, as for best for meat? It depends what you mean "best" Best tasting? or best meat to bone ratio? or even fastest to the table? Heres a couple of poultry forums I can reccomend Practical Poultry The Poultry Keeper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
