Tanbro is a free-range bird that is resistant to disease and possesses a well-rounded conformation. These birds can be used for sustainable or commercial farming, for meat or eggs. 

If managed as a layer, Tanbro starts producing at 25 weeks, and can be managed as a free-range with minimum supplementary feeding and be ready for consumption/sale after 10 to 14 weeks. This bird is ideal for live market sales, and as a replacement for indigenous chicken.  

It is important to note that this bird is not meant to replace the commercial broiler or layer, as it will not attain the production levels of these specialised hybrids. This bird is more suitable for replacing the indigenous bird or for a farmer who would like to manage his/her flock with less intense inputs and have an organic product that has tastier meat.
