Kienyeji chicken is a breed that was first produced by Kenya Agricultural Research Foundation (Kari). It is a new breed of indigenous chicken that offers better yield called KARI Kienyeji chicken
The breed develops faster, is highly resistant to diseases and has high productivity.It achieves 1.5kg in about five months when the rest of the indigenous breeds take up to seven months or moreIt also has ability to withstand harsh conditions is amazing
The feathering system makes it adjust faster than the time taken by others to acclimatise with any climatic conditions, including the arid and semi-arid regions.The chicken is easy to maintain since it can be kept under the free range system or deep litter depending on a farmer’s financial ability and objectives
Inorder to mature faster or produce more eggs, one is advised to keep them in a semi-intensive or deep litter system
Farmers have an option of keeping them as layers, for meat or both. A hen can produce between 220 and 280 eggs a year.
This is almost similar to a white leghorn exotic layer kept in a deep litter system.
