Sonali chicken is a hybrid breed developed by crossbreeding Rhode Island Red roosters with indigenous Desi hens, popular for dual-purpose farming.
It is known for its golden-brown feathers, medium body size, and strong adaptability to various climatic conditions.
The breed lays approximately 200-250 eggs annually, with medium-sized light brown-shelled eggs.
Sonali chickens are disease-resistant, easy to manage, and suitable for both backyard and semi-commercial farming.
With its desi-like meat quality and cost-effectiveness, it is a highly profitable option for small-scale poultry farmers.
