Hi, for meat production you are better of with hybrids as these have a proven rate of growth, the leading hybrid strains recommended for meat production are Arbor Acres, Anak 10 and 2000, Cobb 500, Hubbard, Indian River, ISA Vedette, Petersen and Pilch, there are a few others.
There are a number of good books on the market that will give you an idea of the design, I used a garden shed originally and cut a piece out of the back and put a hatch on it and a ramp so they could get in and out. I also put perches in the shed and a few broody boxes, made sure there was adequate ventilation but not too draughty, my poultry did absolutely fine with this and continued laying all through winter. |
