Males and females are separate genetic lines or breeds so that each line can be selected for optimal traits. The chicks they produce will be crossbreeds

Parent stock are carefully selected for their genetic characteristics, including reproduction, growth, feed conversion, and meat quality. They should be strong, well-proportioned, and have good disease resistance.

Broiler parent stock, also known as broiler breeders, are chickens that are bred to produce fertilized eggs that hatch into broilers.These chickens are usually purebred or crossbred and are selected for traits like rapid growth, feed efficiency, and high yield.
