The Classroom @ The Coop: Breed Discussions: what breed for small scale meat & egg production?

I want to breed primarily for meat that "tastes like chicken used to" together with some egg production.
At the moment I am considering Marsh Daisies, La Bresse or Plymouth Rocks. All suggestions welcome.

Try Orpingtons. They are great brown egg producers as well as meat birds. My 5 three-year-old hens lay more than a dozen eggs a week, and at 8 lbs. apiece they make tasty broilers, too.
