We all have our opinions and personal experience but overall a good video. Brief enough to hold interest but enough basic information to help a beginner.

Don't forget "Coucou de Malines" breed. It is a large producer of very fine white flesh that can be fattened around the age of 3 months to give large tender chickens.

For meat you have to choose white or red broiler and for eggs only leghorn

North Holland blue UK type a good forager that put on weight well and also lays well.
The best all rounder

Jersey Giants take 9 months to fully mature. They are a slow bird. Plymouth rock is much faster but not nearly as big.
Brahmas are almost as big as a Jersey Giant and are slow birds as well Both Giants and Brahmas are not great eggers. 140 160 a year.
Plymouth rock is your egg bird at 280 but not as big and faster maturing. All 3 of these breeds are known gentle birds.

Brahma is missing, I think it’s also very wonderful to have them

We call cornish cross Frankenstein chickens. I have raised and butchered them. Never seen a more lazy or dirty chicken. Just sit on their breast and eat and poop and lay back down in the poop. I had them in chicken tractors and moved them everyday to a clean place but they still got nasty. Will not raise them again. Rhode Island reds are my favorite.
