The Fulani ecotype chicken (a popular indigenous chicken in Nigeria) has been described as a potential meat type chicken because of its broiler-like body conformation, with mature body weight ranging between 0.9 Kg and1.5 Kg; and 1.5 to 2.0 Kg for hens and cocks Nigerian Fulani ecotype chickens : Estimation .
