The effect of breed on age at first lay and hatchability were found significantly different (p<0.05 and p<0.001) respectively. In addition, the effect of location on age at first lay, hatchability and egg weight were also found significant (p<0.001, p<0.01 and p<0.01) respectively. Average weight of pullet and mature chicken were found 1265.92±10.96 gm. and 1763.45±27.17 gm. respectively.
