Kenbro is a dual-purpose breed which lays more eggs and its high rate of growth is higher than the ordinary Kienyeji (indigenous) chicken, the size of the eggs are much bigger compared to the Kienyeji. Therefore with proper feeding they can attain 4kgs or for the hens they can start laying at five and a half months.
They are also hardy just like the Kienyeji; they can scavenge for food and are more disease resistance.
Just like any other chicken Kenbro do moult for five or six weeks, therefore you should expect them to stop laying for the duration in a year. They use this period to relax and for the eggs to start forming again.
If you are planning to keep Kenbro or any other breed for fertile eggs to hatch you need to make sure you source the cockerels from other farmers who have pure breeds to prevent incest in your flock.
The only disadvantage of Kenbro is that they are heavy feeders compared to kienyeji, Kuroiler and KARI, and just like Kuroilers they do not go broody, therefore even when they are moulting they do not sit on their eggs.
The above can be covered by either having them as free rage so that they can roam outside and scavenge foe their own food or you can have Sukuma wiki, other greens and leftovers as supplements to the feeds to reduce the feeds cost
You can also use other indigenous chicken to sit on the eggs or use an incubator to hatch the eggs laid by your Kenbro birds.

Can i get about 15-2 days old chicks in karatina and at how much, whole summation
Hi Ben,
Our minimum order is 50 chicks if you want us to post them to you, chicks at day old to 1 week old need to keep each other warm. That is why there is a minimum order. If you can come to pick them up then you can collect from 20 chicks and above.

Am on Busia and so much interested in kenbro,how many eggs does it lay in a year and how much does the egg sell at the market?
Hi Cosmas,
They lay around 280 eggs per year, price per egg depends on your location. It’s hard for me to tell how much you would sell them in Busia as we are in Thika, too farm from busia. You’ll need to do your homework and find out the cost of an egg in Busia, whether table of hatching eggs.
Kind regards

Hi,am Ann from Mwea. Need one mnth old chicks n are they affected by the change of weather? How much is one egg cz I want tobrear for business?
Hi Anne,
I don’t thing there is much difference between Thika and Mwea in terms of climate, but if you are worried about the weather change affecting the chicks, you can buy day old which won’t be affected at all.
A kienyeji egg goes for around ksh15 each.

just like mwangi, i would like to ask the same quastion… please respond
I a while back did post a couple of queries that were for some reason deleted(?)
Wanted to know the difference between Kenbro and Kuroiler apart from the obvious. Different articles claim they can grow upto 5-7kgs, is this true?
Which among them is hardier?
Which among them is tastier?
Which among them is heavier?
Which is most marketable?
Which lays bigger eggs?
Which lays most eggs?
What are the various price differences for mature birds?
away from that, how soon can we expect the Leghorn to arrive?
thank you
Hi Mwangi,
KARI Prolific (good) layers compared to Kuroiler
KARI Mature in 5.5 – 6 months – Kuroiler matures in 5 months
KARI Lays Bigger eggs than Kuroiler
KARI are same prices as Kuroilers but if your
are selling per KG it would be less
Kuroiler gain weight faster than KARI
Kuroiler are on demand at the moment but i think its the usual Kenyan way of wanting what everyone want. but In mu opinion most farmers will end up going for KALRO (KARI) chicks in the future, as they have improved their breed dramatically. I have the new breed from KARI and they should start laying soon, from what I have seen they are laying around 280 – 300 eggs per year.

Ziwani Poultry
