leghorns are good layers indian game x light sussex nice meat

It was about £16 for 20 Hubbard day olds. Grow fast put on alot of meat and don't smell like the Cobbs.

 

The problem with the indian game and such is that they take so long to put some meat on and alot of food, not with specially bred meat birds.
