ADVANTAGES OF REARING KUROILER AS OPPOSED TO OTHER BREEDS

(1)They mature faster than ordinary chicken. The Kuroiler chickens begin laying eggs at five months. Once they start, they will lay continuously for a period of 2 years.
(2)They are scavengers
Kuroiler chicken perform quite well under what experts call “scavenging conditions”. You can feed them on animal or plant remains. Unlike other breeds, you don’t need to spend a lot of money to feed them. The Kuroiler eggs also contain more nutrients thanks to their scavenging lifestyle which exposes them to more nutrients during their feeding.
(3)They are as good as indigenous chicken
As we all know, indigenous chicken produce tastier meat than modern breeds. Also, indigenous breeds are known for laying yellow york eggs which are extremely nutritious. Kuroiler chicken are just like indigenous chicken, their meat is tasty and they lay yellow York eggs.
(4)High production
One thing about this chicken is that despite being a hardy breed, it is not encumbered by low productivity. While indigenous chicken produce about 40 eggs per year, Kuroiler does about 150 eggs in the same period. (5). Kuroiler chicken grow faster
Perhaps this is the biggest advantage of the Kuroiler chickens. They grow very fast. The best thing is that they grow fast without any special commercial feeding. They can put on weight very quickly in scavenging environment while feeding on leftovers of food, grass, termites and many other kinds of food. (6)Get More Meat with Kuroiler
The Kuroiler chickens will mature in 10 weeks compared to other ordinary birds which can take as many as months before they mature. At maturity, the Kuroiler chickens will weigh up to 3.5Kgs which makes them better than broilers which generally weigh 2.0 to 2.5Kgs at maturity. (7). Hatchability
the only disadvantage with this breed is that Kuroiler will not brood or sit on their eggs. However, when their eggs are put in the incubators or hatchery, they produce good hatchability results. You can get hatchability of 80% and above.

note that to get this desirable qualities its good to have F1 GENERATION which is not easily available in kenya most of the so called kuroilers are kari kienyeji orCROSSBREEDS OF . for commercial investment import from the developers KEGG farms india or NAGRIC UGANDA.
