The Robusta Maculata, a product of meticulous breeding efforts culminating in 1965 at the Experimental Poultry Station in Rovigo, Italy, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and dedication of poultry enthusiasts. Born from the genetic contributions of the Buff Orpington and the White America breeds, this captivating breed has steadily risen in popularity in recent years, revered for its elegant and refined appearance.

Renowned for its robust constitution, the Robusta Maculata thrives in organic farming environments and excels in the production of both meat and eggs. With a medium level of precocity, this breed embodies versatility, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a dual-purpose fowl that delivers on both fronts.

The layers of the Robusta Maculata demonstrate commendable precocity, yielding eggs with shells ranging from rosy to brown hues. With an average production of 140-160 eggs per cycle, each weighing approximately 55-60 grams, these hens contribute significantly to the farm's productivity.

In addition to its prowess as an egg producer, the Robusta Maculata offers a bounty of delicate and flavorful meat, making it a prized commodity among poultry aficionados. Typically slaughtered around 18 weeks of age, this breed yields meat of exceptional quality and abundance, catering to discerning palates and culinary preferences.

While often reared as purebred stock, the Robusta Maculata also finds utility in crossbreeding programs, particularly when paired with breeds like the White America or Hampshire. The resulting hybrids exhibit desirable traits, with cockerels averaging 1.3 kilograms and pullets 1.1 kilograms in weight at four months of age, presenting a viable option for producers seeking optimal outcomes in their breeding endeavors.
