Day-old chick breeds

Every breed we hatch or import, what it is best for, and its starting price.

Quick answer: for meat in a poultry house, choose Ross 308 or Cobb 500. For eggs, choose Bovans Brown or Hy-Line Brown. For free range or backyard, choose Sasso, Kuroiler or Noiler. For the lowest start-up cost, choose white cockerels.
