The Kuroiler is a dual-purpose breed of chicken developed in India, known for its ability to produce both meat and eggs. This breed is characterized by its black feathers, which help it adapt to various climates. Kuroilers are hardy and can thrive in free-range systems, making them suitable for small-scale farmers. Kuroilers are also recognized for their good feed conversion ratio, meaning they efficiently turn feed into body weight. They typically lay around 150 to 200 eggs per year, providing a reliable source of protein for families. Their resilience and productivity make them a popular choice among rural communities in India.
