This year was my first raising chickens ... Rhode Island Reds. They've been fun. We're still getting lots of good eggs. But the hens are not as meaty as store bought. I'm thinking of trying another breed next year for more meat or raising a flock of roosters/cockerels. Can you give me any advice? What breed would give me the more meat? Do I need to switch to roosters/cockerels? Does the meat of one breed taste better than others? Thanks in advance.
