Jharsim Chickens are making you rich by laying eggs that are protein rich
Jharsim chickens have proven to be a significant boost for farmers’ incomes, beginning to lay eggs at around 40 weeks of age. These chickens produce eggs that are nearly double the weight of those laid by regular Desi hens, making them considerably larger. Specifically, Jharsim eggs weigh between 50 to 55 grams, compared to the average 30 grams of Desi hen eggs.
India, known for its agricultural prowess, sees farmers diversifying into animal husbandry alongside traditional farming. While larger farmers tend to rear cows and buffaloes, smaller and marginal farmers often supplement their income with poultry farming. This practice has also attracted educated youth, who are now engaging in large-scale poultry farming and earning substantial incomes, sometimes in the lakhs of rupees annually. Despite the potential for losses in poultry farming, rearing Jharsim chicken is a promising venture, as these birds can more than double the egg yield compared to local chickens. Notably, they begin laying eggs just 40 weeks after hatching.

170 Eggs per year
The Jharsim breed, developed by Birsa Agricultural University (BAU), is a remarkable innovation in poultry farming. These chickens, colloquially known as Jharsim chickens, are significantly more productive, laying around 170 eggs annually compared to the 60 eggs typical of local chickens. They also grow four times faster than their local counterparts.
Bigger size
A single Jharsim egg weighs about 55 grams, almost twice the weight of a Desi hen egg, which averages 30 grams. This increase in size and weight translates to higher market value, allowing farmers to earn more from selling both eggs and meat. Jharsim chickens reach a weight of up to one and a half kilograms in just three months, making them highly profitable.
Protein Rich Jharsim Chickens Eggs
These chickens are not only attractive and multi-coloured but also have a longer lifespan and require less feed. Their eggs are rich in protein, and the chickens themselves have high meat production. Jharsim chickens are well-suited to rural environments, thriving better than both broilers and regular Desi chickens. For farmers, raising Jharsim chicken means substantial earnings and a more secure livelihood.
Jharsim chickens are a part of a broader initiative to enhance rural livelihoods through improved poultry breeds. BAU’s development of this breed addresses the need for resilient, high-yield poultry that can withstand rural conditions while providing superior economic benefits. The Jharsim breed’s adaptability to local environments and its high productivity make it an excellent choice for small-scale farmers looking to diversify and increase their income. This innovation in poultry farming is a step towards more sustainable and profitable agricultural practices in India.
