Mokoko (Roosters) wa teng o ka nna 1.6kg ka boima morago ga dibeke dile 12, mme o nne bokete ba 2,6kg kwa morago ga dibeke dile 20. Koko (hens) yone o ka nna 1,5kg morago ga dibeke dile 12, 1,7kg morago ga tse di 20. Dinonyane tse di itakanela tsalo kwa morago ga malatsi a 136 a bophelo. Koko e le nngwe e ka beela mae a 4 ka beke.
Dikgogo tsa Naked Neck
Dikgogo tsa Naked Neck di badiwa mo mophatong wa setlhopha sa matsopa tlholego, di senoga mo matsopeng a di-Naked Neck tse di gorositsweng kwano go tswa kwa Malaysia ka sentshuri ya bo17.

Di akaaretswa mo setlhopheng(clasified) sa matsopa a a bokete(heavy Breed), ka fa e tona e ka nna le bokete ba 1,5kg ga di bona beke ya bo16 ya botshelo, 1.95kg kwa morago ga dile 20, mme di nne 3,5kg fa di godile ka botlhalo. E e namagadi yone e ka bona bokete jwa 1,1kg ka beke ya bo16, 1,4kg ka ya bo20, mme e nne 3kg fa di godile ka botlalo.
Di itenalella tsalo morago ga malatsi a ka nna 155 a botshelo, mme di ka beela mae a a ka bonang bokete jwa magareng a 55,5g. Matsopa a Naked Neck a dirisediwa bogwebi kwa mafatsheng a mangwe, jaaka France. Go na le mabaka a mmalwa a a kayang seo, e enngwe ya mabaka ke gore dinonyane tse ga di na mafofa a mantsi ka ga di ka bona mafofa a a leng bonnye ba 30% (less) fa a tshwantshaniwa le a dikgogo tse dingwe.
Seo se raya gore ga go tlhokege go tlhoba mafofa a mantsi fa e tlhabiwa. Di itlhokela dijo tse di kwa tlase ga tse ditlhokiwang ke dinonyane tse dingwe go bona bokete jo bo tshwanang, ebile ga di amiwe ke mogote o montsi.
Dikgogo tsa Ovambo Chickens
Dikgogo tsa Ovambo Chickens di tlholega kwa Ovamboland kwa bokone ba Namibia. Di akaretswa mo setlhopheng sa di-layers.

Mebele ya tsone e e botlhofo e e fa bokgoni ba go ka fofa mme dikgone go nna mo ditlhareng go tshabela diphologolo tse di ka ditsomang. Go ya ka dipatlisiso tsa “Wicked Food Earth” dinonyane tse di na le dikgoka mme go itsiwe fa di ka ja magotlo le borotwe ba bannye.
E e tona e ka nna bokete ba 1,74kg kwa morago ga dibeke dile 16, mme e nne 2,16kg kwa morago ga dile 20. E namagadi yone e ka nna bokete ba 1,32kg kwa morago ga dile 16, mme e bone bokete ba 1,54kg kwa morago ga dile 20. Di itekanela tsalo morago ga malatsi a le 143 a botshelo. E namagadi e ka beela mae a ka nna 129 ka ngwaga, mme lee le le esi le ka nna bokete jwa 52,5g. Tse dinamagadi ke bo mme ba ba siameng e le tota, mmele tsela e di elamang ka yone e nnetefatsa tsellopele ya tsone.
Kgogo ya Potchefstroom Koekok

Tse ditona di na le bokete ba 1,84kg ka beke ya bo16, 2,4kg ka ya bo20, mme di bone bokete jwa 4,5kg fa digodile ka botlalo.
Tse di namagadi tsone di ka nna 1,4kg ka beke ya bo16, 1,7kg ka ya bo20, mme fa di godile ka botlalo di ka bona bokete jwa 3,5kg. Matsopa a a dikgogo a tlwaelegile thata kwa magayeng, ka ga a ratelwa mae a tsone, nama ya tsone le ka gore di kgona go elama mae a tsone go fitlhela a thuba. Mebala ya dinonyane tse e golagantswa le bong ba tsone.
Ga o ka nyala e tona ya mmala wa boshibidu kgotsa bontsho le koekoek e namagadi, go tsala engwe e namagadi, e tla tsalwa e le ntsho fa e tona e tla nna le letshwao la mmala o mosweu mo tlhogong.
