Hubbard’s colored broiler is a meat type bird that has a comparable taste if not better taste to our Philippine native chicken. These hardy birds can be readily ranged in open areas requiring minimal supervision as these can forage and source food from naturally available food sources to supplement normal feed ration. These birds are well suited to our climatic conditions with better growth rate, feed conversion, higher meat yield, and faster time to attain slaughter weight compared to our native chicken without compromising disease resistance. These chickens can grow around 1.5-1.8kg live weight in 56-60 days fed with commercial feeds.
