The Rainbow Rooster is a popular, multicolored hybrid chicken from India, known for being a hardy, dual-purpose bird excellent for low-input, free-range farming in places like East Africa, offering both fast-growing meat (tender, low-fat) and good egg production (around 180-200 eggs/year) with minimal commercial feed requirements, making it profitable for small-scale farmers seeking quick returns and high-quality local chicken (kienyeji).
