What Are Kuroiler Chickens?
Kuroiler is a hybrid dual-purpose chicken breed developed in India by Keggfarms. It’s a cross between high-yielding exotic breeds and hardy local chickens. The result? A strong, disease-resistant bird that performs well under both intensive and free-range systems.
Kuroilers are known for:
-
Rapid growth (like broilers)
-
High egg yield (like layers)
-
Toughness and adaptability to hot climates
-
Delicious, rich-flavored meat preferred by local consumers
They’ve become one of the most popular breeds across Africa, especially in Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, and Ghana, because they balance profitability, resilience, and sustainability.

Why Choose Kuroiler Chicks for Your Farm?
Kuroilers are designed for maximum return on investment — they grow faster, lay more eggs, and resist common poultry diseases better than many local breeds.
✅ 1. Dual-Purpose Advantage
Unlike most breeds that focus only on meat or eggs, Kuroilers do both efficiently:
-
Females: Lay up to 200 eggs per year, even under semi-scavenging conditions.
-
Males: Reach 2–2.5 kg in 12 weeks, offering tender, flavorful meat.
This makes them a great option for mixed farming systems and farmers who want multiple income streams from one flock.
✅ 2. Fast Growth & Early Maturity
Kuroiler chicks grow faster than native chickens and can reach market size in just 10–12 weeks, depending on feed and management. Their efficient feed conversion means less cost and more profit for farmers.
✅ 3. Hardy and Disease-Resistant
Kuroilers inherit the hardiness of indigenous breeds. They tolerate heat, humidity, and rough conditions, and show better resistance to common poultry diseases like Newcastle and coccidiosis.
✅ 4. High Egg Yield
Under proper feeding and care, female Kuroilers can produce up to 220 brown-shelled eggs annually — higher than most local chickens and close to commercial layers. Their eggs are nutrient-dense and rich in yolk, which customers love.
✅ 5. Low Maintenance
They can thrive on kitchen scraps, grains, and scavenging, reducing feed costs. This makes Kuroilers perfect for rural or semi-intensive farms where feed supply may fluctuate.
✅ 6. High Market Demand
Because Kuroilers produce tasty, firm meat similar to native chickens — but grow faster — they are highly sought after in local markets, restaurants, and hotels. Farmers enjoy faster sales and premium prices.
