Indigenous chicken production manual (KARI Technical Note Report No. 18, February 2006).978-1-928310-25-9https://kalroerepository.kalro.org/handle/0/9783Indigenous chicken farming has been described variously as backyard poultry rearing, rural poultry production or scavenging. For our purpose, any flock of chicken that are kept under free-range management and on which no selection of breeds or improvement by crossbreeding has been done is considered as a flock of indigenous chicken. Indigenous chicken lay between 8 and 15 eggs per clutch depending on availability of feed. They are broody and hatch about 80% of the eggs they sit on. They attain 2-3 clutches in a year.enhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Report19ChickenProductionManagementBreedingDiseasesCrossbreeding
