The Kabir chicken breed was established in Israel by the Katz family and has now been owned by the Italian Avizoo company headed by Dr Stefano Pollarini.

The Kabir chicken gene pool includes a number of pure lines having specific colored and naked neck characteristics. The gene pool is unique, considered to be close to the traditional fowl from which the modern broiler chicken has been developed.

Due to its very large size. Kabir means “large” in Arabic. It has a calm personality and can be handled with ease. The Kabir Chicken is very popular in the Philippines, where many villagers raise it for meat. It is known in the Middle East and parts of Southern Europe.

It is mostly raised for meat production because of its rapid growth, good size and efficient feed conversion. The chicken is resistant to disease and can tolerate heat stress. The meat is tasty. When cross-bred with native chickens, the Kabir qualities are retained in the new breed. The low feeding cost is possible since the Kabir chicken can also survive by themselves as free range chickens. They can be raised in the same manner as “native chickens”.

A Kabir can lay 200 eggs per cycle and their large eggs are low in choresterol. The Kabir does natural brooding although it may be late, thus it should be encouraged to brood.

Kabir chicken has been distributed throughout the world, gaining popularity because of its exceptional characteristics. It is known as the chicken most-in-demand for backyard and small enterprise flocks.
