Sharon and I so enjoy reading your colorful posts on life at the Homestead and your literary style and lyrical gift with words are commendable and greatly appreciated! We'll pass on the meat chickens and here's why: We don't knowingly eat or support GMO anything, only what God and Nature grows. But thanks for the offer.
Our dear, departed friend Lloyd Stueve search all over for a breed of large, very hearty egg laying hens for his pasture wagon (that hawks and other smaller predators couldn't easily take off with) and found a natural breed used in the Australian Outback. One can imagine how hearty they must be in that environment, they were huge and prolific layers!
It is good to try different options, get more information, etc, to expand your horizons. Every new bit of information will improve your homesteading efforts.

The picture up the hill to the house is so serene! It will be interesting to see how the chickens look and taste different.
I thought so too!
Already the look of the birds is so very different. The Cornish are just so much larger in comparison. 40% bigger, easily.
