Hi Im doctor T. K. Roy. I'm speaking on behalf of Expert Village. We have different breeds of birds. Most common pureline breeds, include Rhode Island red, which are brown colored birds. Its a double purpose breed. It gives quite a fair quantity of meat and at the same time a good quantity of eggs. There are white birds which are know as white leg horns. They are lighter birds and they are reared mainly for egg production. Their egg production capacity is much higher than the brown ones. Then there are Black Australorps. They are black birds but mainly reared for body purpose, I mean a good quality, good quantity of meat and a good number of eggs. Thank you very much.
