Have you come across a cockerel weighing a cool 2.5 kilogrammes? Very rare. Well, this was one of the many attractions showcased during the just-ended 2021 Annual Mkulima Expo at the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organisation (Kalro) centre in Kakamega.
And probably because Kakamega is stereotyped as the home of chicken lovers, the stand showcasing the giant bird was packed with curious farmers who wanted to know the secret behind the bird s admirable weight.
Experts at the stand explained that the four-month-old rooster is a Kalro improved Kienyeji variety (KC). The weight, they said, is as a result of embracing recommended best practices from egg selection for hatching, to brooding, to vaccination, to proper feeding.
