Koekoek

We supply Koekoek to our trusted customers, The Koekoek is a South African breed of chicken developed in the 1960s at the Potchefstroom Agricultural College in the city of Potchefstroom by Chris Marais.

It was developed by cross breeding a number of other breeds like Black Australorp, White Leghorn, and Barred Plymouth Rock to obtain specific characteristics of each, making the resulting breed more suitable to Southern African conditions.

Product Details

Koekoek

The breed was intended as a dual purpose, free ranging chicken with laying capabilities as well as a large structure for meat production. Pure Koekoeks have a grey-and-white barred appearance, with the chicks sexable soon after hatching due to distinct sex markings. Koekoeks maintain good egg production even with poor quality or insufficient feeding.

With yellow skin, the Koekoek is a heavy breed with soft feathers that weighs 1.84 kgs for roosters and 1.4kgs for hens at 16 weeks and 2.4kgs for Koekoek roosters and 1.7 kgs for Koekoek hens. The chicken roosters can grow up to 1.7kgs at 20weeks.

The Koekoek sexual maturity is at 130 days, with the hens able to lay an average of 198 eggs per year. The eggs weigh an average of 55.78 grams. The hens get broody well, are good sitters and the eggs have a hatchability rate of 78%.

If you need a good dual purpose chicken, the Koekoek is probably the most economical choice. About 210 eggs per year.
Cocks: 2.4+ kg
Hens: 1.7+ kg

The Koekoek goes broody quite readily and will make a great mother to new chicks. They love free ranging but will do well in confinement.

Egg laying starts at around 5 months giving you up to 200 medium sized brown eggs per year.

Their plumage should be black and white barred, legs should be yellow and single comb and wattles red. Koekoeks are sexable soon after hatching as they have distinctive sex markings. Due to this they are the only breed we currently sell sexed at day old.

We supply a variety of poultry breeds such as Koekoek and for those interested in Light Sussex at wholesale prices exported world-wide.
