KUROILER CHICKEN IN KENYA

KUROILER CHICKEN

 

The Kuroiler is a hybrid breed of chicken developed in India. Kuroilers are derived from crossing either coloured broiler males with Rhode Island Red females, or, White Leghorn males crossed with female Rhode Island Reds

Kuroilers, a dual-purpose breed producing meat and eggs, can live on a diet of kitchen and agricultural waste, and produce around 150-200 eggs per year whereas native KIENYEJI hens lay only 40 per year. The meat yield per bird of Kuroilers is also greater; males weigh approximately 3.5 kg and females about 2.5 kg whereas the native male bird weighs 1.0 kg and females 0.9 kg. Due to its unique genetic features, the Kuroiler is resistant to diseases. The kuroiler chick is a potential bio-converter of no cost agricultural, household and natural waste abundant in villages — into human protein food and substantial incomes for rural households.

    1. There's someone who brings them to Eldoret every Friday but I don't know if they are the genuine ones as the chicks look small compared to adult birds I've seen on the internet.
