Breeds and Breeding
Layer breeds
These are chicken breeds selected for laying eggs and maybe divided into several categories:
Light breeds
Light laying breeds include the White Leghorn, Brown Leghorn and Black Minorca. The maximum adult bodyweight of light races is about 2 kg for females and 2.5 kg for cocks. The white leghorn is known to lay a large number of white eggs. It requires less feed due to its small size and is an efficient feed converter. Its low body weight allows it to withstand high temperatures better than other breeds. However, White leghorns are generally nervous and at the end of the laying period give relatively less meat than heavier breeds. For this reason the use of lighter breeds has generally changed in favour of crosses.
Medium breeds
These are the
Rhode Island Red (RIR), New Hampshire (NH) and
light Sussex (LS). The RIR has dark brown feathers, lays brown eggs and is heavier but more susceptible to high temperatures than the White Leghorn. In poor conditions RIR is more viable than the light breed and has a higher carcass value. The NH has light brown feathers with similar characteristic to RIR. The LS is a white bird with black striped neck feathers and black tail.

Heavy breeds
Heavy breeds include
Barred and white Plymouth Rock, Buff Orpington as well as White Jersey Giant and Arbor Acres Hubbard Vantress. These breeds are used
for crossing to obtain the fast growing broiler strains available from hatcheries.
These are mainly the meat birds commonly referred to as broilers.
Breeder stocks consist of the
White Cornish (WS) and
White Plymouth Rock (WPR). The White Cornish is a heavy, white feathered breed that lays brown shelled eggs. It has been developed for quality and quantity of meat.
White Plymouth Rock is similar to the WS but lays more eggs.
