Robusta Lionata chickens are a versatile dual-purpose breed that traces its roots back to 1965 when it was developed at the Experimental Poultry Station in Rovigo, a city nestled in Northern Italy. The breeding process involved a blend of genetics from two distinct chicken breeds: the Buff Orpington and the White America.

Known for their balanced attributes, Robusta Lionata chickens excel in both meat and egg production. On average, they are capable of yielding a yearly egg production of 160-170 eggs, boasting a rosy shell and weighing between 55-60 grams each.

With their robust constitution and productive capabilities, Robusta Lionata chickens have become valued assets in poultry farming, contributing to both sustenance and livelihoods.
