Indian Hatchery

Kadaknath (also known as Kali Masi) is one of the most premium and unique poultry breeds in India. It is highly valued for its nutritional and medicinal properties.
Key Features of Kadaknath Chicks
* Distinct Appearance: Everything about this bird is black—the feathers, beak, skin, legs, tongue, and even the bones and meat.
* Health Benefits: Its meat is famous for being high in protein and iron while being very low in fat and cholesterol compared to regular chicken. It is often recommended for people with high blood pressure or heart issues.
* High Market Value: Due to its slow growth rate and high demand, Kadaknath meat and its dark-tinted eggs sell at a much higher price than both Broiler and common Desi chicken.
* Hardiness: These chicks are very resilient. Once they pass the initial brooding stage, they are highly resistant to diseases and can adapt well to the local climate.

* Temperature Control: Since Kadaknath chicks are slightly smaller and more sensitive in their first week, ensure the "Brooding" (heating) area is strictly maintained at the right temperature
