There is alot of fuss about the Sasso chicken breed from France.
  1. Is it a Kienyeji Breed?
  2. what is their vaccination and Feeding Program?
  3. IS it a good breed to keep for chicken meat?
  4. How does it perform in comparison to the Rainbow rooster?

Sasso is a slow growing bird developed purely for meat production. It a Staind 2- 2.4kg in about 84days. Rainbow rooster is a dual purpose breed for both eggs and meat production.

slow? 2.4Kgs in about 3Month? sounds to me like a really heavy bird by 3 months. The rainbow rooster attains the weinght of 2.5-3.6 in 5 months?

what about the taste of the sasso bird and disease resistance qualities to the Kenyan conditions?
