    We all have our opinions and personal experience but overall a good video. Brief enough to hold interest but enough basic information to help a beginner.

    Don't forget "Coucou de Malines" breed. It is a large producer of very fine white flesh that can be fattened around the age of 3 months to give large tender chickens.

    Jersey Giants take 9 months to fully mature. They are a slow bird. Plymouth rock is much faster but not nearly as big.
    Brahmas are almost as big as a Jersey Giant and are slow birds as well Both Giants and Brahmas are not great eggers. 140 160 a year.
    Plymouth rock is your egg bird at 280 but not as big and faster maturing. All 3 of these breeds are known gentle birds.

    • @jmearley4872

      I'll have to disagree about Brahmas.
      I'm a backyard Breeder and My Brahmas crank out about 300 a year.
      They do grow slowly, that's for sure.
      My Roosters are at about 18 months when they get finished out and take their job seriously.

      @gregzeigler3850 Agreed. I've been breeding Buff Brahmas as a business for 8 years steady. Bred others but settled in to Brahmas because of their temperament and intelligence.
      The roosters, once they get past the terrible teens are amazing.

      @@jmearley4872 Yeah, my Buff Brahma rooster is a bit of a hassle(can't say the same for my Jersey Giant rooster), but I like them both. The hens of both are quite sweet and affectionate. I've had Jersey Giants before and I liked the breed. First time raising Brahmas. Regardless, what the other guy was saying, I'm getting pretty good egg production out of them. Not as good as say White Rocks, but pretty close.

      @gregzeigler3850 Oh yeah, and mine may drop back one egg a week in the shorter days.
      Trust me, I've made serious life lesson mistakes with my first rooster. He raked me from my cheek to just above my knee.
      I disrespected his role in front of his girls, he sent us both a message.
      When we both knew it was time, he crawled up in to my lap to die. His son did the same.
      All our chickens live their life out here in retirement. Each one gets a significant tree or bush to feed.

    We call cornish cross Frankenstein chickens. I have raised and butchered them. Never seen a more lazy or dirty chicken. Just sit on their breast and eat and poop and lay back down in the poop. I had them in chicken tractors and moved them everyday to a clean place but they still got nasty. Will not raise them again. Rhode Island reds are my favorite.
