In Kenya, the most commonly raised egg-laying breeds are the Kuroiler, Kenbro, and Rainbow Rooster. These breeds are known for their high egg production, good feed conversion rates, and resistance to diseases. Other popular breeds for egg-laying include the Rhode Island Red, Sussex, and Leghorn.

When raising layers in Kenya, it’s important to provide them with a balanced diet that meets their nutritional needs. Layers require a high-protein diet that is rich in calcium and other minerals to support egg production. Commercial layer feeds are available in Kenya and are formulated specifically for layers.

In addition to a balanced diet, layers also need access to clean water, shelter, and a comfortable living environment. The housing should be well-ventilated and provide enough space for the birds to move around and engage in natural behaviors like scratching and dust-bathing.

Proper disease control measures should also be in place, including regular vaccinations and biosecurity protocols to prevent the spread of diseases.

It’s also important to keep in mind that egg production is influenced by factors like age, breed, nutrition, and environmental conditions. With proper care and management, layers in Kenya can produce an average of 280-320 eggs per year.
