You won't get broiler eggs. They are not available. You may get old meat breeds but they are hardly worth the effort. If you want meat get some Pekin/ Alysbury duck eggs and put them under the hens and let them rear them. Kill them at 8 weeks. I did 27 broilers last year from day old chicks and free ranged them. Great meat. Going to do ducks from eggs with clockers and broilers again this year.
