Selection of Good Quality Chicken Breeds

Chicken for breeding purposes must be selected from newly hatched chicks.

In the same flock, each chick has a different body shape, size and growth rate.

The back of the chick should be wide, when it is viewed from above. 

Body length should be well developed.

Chest should be wide when viewed from the front, and the feet are wide when standing. 

Chest must be narrow when the two feet are close together.

Eyes should be clear, round and sharp.

The practice of selling the biggest chickens in a flock first and continuing raising the rest of the small chickens, should be avoided because it leads to the loss of good quality chickens. 

The best practice to maintain good breeds is to leave and continue raising 2-3 chickens that have proper body shape and highest body weight, at the time of selling the chicken flocks.
