[CHICKENS-101] Hybrids and mating?

 

While I'm waiting for the library books I need answers. My feed store has "Production RI Reds? and "Black set links" some cross breed brown egg layer. When I called they said these are hybrids.

When reading the McMurray catalog (it's since disappeared into the Black Hole) there was a note about their hybrids that they shouldn't be bred or maybe couldn't be bred, I don't recall.

The thing of it is, I want meat as well as eggs. If I were to buy the hybrid and had a rooster would I get meat chickens or just an ornery rooster. I don't need a 2nd free-loading chicken.

Thanks and confused,
Allen
