Abstract
In this study reciprocal mating was conducted between exotic chicken and locally purchased indigenous chicken from at the Department of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Bangladesh Agricultural University Mymensingh. The exotic chicken included White Leghorn (WL), RIR and Fayomi cocks and local cocks were mated to WL, RIR and Fayoumi hens naturally. Local cocks were mated to local hens in the pen as the control group. A total of 43 chicks in 4 genetic groups were raised up to 8 weeks under identical conditions. The objectives of the study is to keep record of egg production & egg weight of chicks hatched out of such reciprocal mating  and compare the results in respect of egg production egg weight with control group (indigenous chickens). In conformity the performance of chicks produced by reciprocal mating among the two types in terms of egg production and egg weight were recorded. Egg production of the WL and Fayoumi was about double than that of indigenous and RIR, WL and Fayoumi compared to WL, Fayoumi and RIR. Growth rate, growth velocity and weight gain in Indigenous male ×WL female, Indigenous × Fayoumi female and Indigenous male× RIR female   was found by higher than that of WL male ×Indigenous female, RIR male × Indigenous female and Fayoumi male × Indigenous female. Among the genotypes, Indigenous male ×WL female had the maximum gain in body weight. The results obtained indicated that male line of indigenous chickens crossed with females of other breeds was significantly higher than the female line of indigenous chicken crossed with male of their breeds in their growth performance.
