Picked up our ten Hubbard chicks today - feels like Easter
They are a meat breed, quick growing and very tasty.
A friend of ours kept one as a pet but it laid infrequently and didn't live very long.

Poultry hybrids tend to be specialist strains developed for the commercial market to produce either eggs or meat.
Although most poultry-owners have their chickens for eggs, raising your own poultry for the table isn't as difficult and
Keeping your poultry housing clean is essential for the health, welfare and productivity of your flock.

What are Hubbards Rosemary? Are they generally better for egg laying, or meat, or both?
