What chicken breed is used to raise fryers?
The meat breeds of chicken are not really breeds at all but hybrid varieties or a combination of many different breeds. These varieties are selected to produce a strain of bird with meat characteristics that the producer desires most. Some breeds grow faster and larger and others emphasis traits such as large breast meat yield, more efficient feed conversion, or more disease resistance. The strains are often named after the breeding companies that genetically develop them, like Arbor Acres, Ross, Peterson and Hubbard, to name a few. The weakness of these varieties is that they do not lay as many eggs per hen and seldom reach egg laying age. These strains are used by broiler producing companies that commercially produce broilers sold in supermarkets. Some well know breeds used to produce these hybrids are often Cornish cross breeds with australorps or leghorn.

What chickens ar right for me?
It depends what your looking for and what is available in your location. If your looking for an affectionate breed that is good with children and makes a great pet i would suggest either a handtamed Silkie Bantam, Wyandotte Bantam, Modern Game Bantam, Old English Game Bantam or Japanese Bantam. If your looking for a chicken breed to set as broody hens (to sit on eggs and get chicks) Silkie Bantams, Wyandottes and even Rhode Island Reds may be suitable (Defiantely the Silkie's though). If you are looking for a chicken to lay eggs i'd recommend the average layer hens (also known as ISA Reds/ISA Browns who are bred not to go broody so you will never get chicks and will have a continous supply of eggs), Australorps and maybe even Orpingtons.
