Exotic chickens are breeds of chickens that are not native or commonly found in a particular region and are often imported from other countries. These breeds are often preferred for their unique characteristics, such as their distinctive appearance, egg-laying ability, or meat quality. In Kenya, some examples of exotic chicken breeds include Rhode Island Red, Plymouth Rock, Sussex, Leghorn, Marans, Orpington, and Wyandotte.
