Day-old Kuroiler chicks cost KShs 110 (1-day-old) or KShs 150 (1-week-old) from EcoKuku Farm. Older chicks: KShs 300 at 1 month, KShs 550 at 2 months, KShs 700 at 3 months. All prices include free delivery to all 47 counties.

Kuroiler hens lay 150–200 eggs per year under good management — far more than indigenous Kienyeji chickens (40–60/year) while retaining their hardiness and low feed requirements.

Kari was developed locally by the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute and lays more eggs (up to 280+/year). Kuroiler was developed for East African village conditions and is exceptionally hardy in rough free-range settings. Choose Kari for maximum eggs, Kuroiler for the toughest free-range performance.

Kuroiler roosters reach 2–2.5 kg at 10–12 weeks in semi-intensive systems — much faster than Kienyeji (6–8 months) with lower feed costs than commercial broilers.

Core vaccines: Newcastle at day 7, Gumboro (IBD) at weeks 2–3, Newcastle booster at weeks 4–6. Fowl Typhoid and Marek's vaccines are recommended for commercial flocks. EcoKuku's team advises on the full schedule for your area at delivery.

For farming income, yes — by a significant margin. Kuroiler lays 150–200 eggs per year versus 40–60 for ordinary Kienyeji, and reaches market weight in 10–12 weeks versus 6–8 months for Kienyeji. The Kuroiler also forages just as well as Kienyeji and has similar disease resistance. The only advantage Kienyeji holds is that buyers who specifically want traditional indigenous birds may prefer them — but even then, Kuroiler often sells at the same or higher price due to its superior size.

Under good management — correct brooding temperature, clean water, timely vaccination — expect 85–92% survival to 12 weeks. Poor brooding (wrong temperature, draughts, crowding) is the main cause of losses in weeks 1–3. Disease (Newcastle, Gumboro) is the main cause of losses from week 4 onward if vaccination is delayed or missed. Kuroiler's genetic hardiness gives it naturally higher survival rates than commercial broilers in Kenyan conditions.

In a genuine free-range system with good foraging land, Kuroiler chicks from 6 weeks onward can get 30–40% of their nutrition from insects, green matter and seeds. They cannot survive entirely without supplemental feed — they still need a daily ration of grain or mash. But their ability to substitute foraging for commercial feed is far superior to broilers, making them significantly cheaper to raise in semi-rural settings. The home-mix formula (60% maize + 25% sunflower cake + 10% omena + 5% premix) reduces feeding costs by 30–50%.
