The Indian River® Meat FF is a fast-feathering Indian River breeder that has been selected to have longer upper layer feathers (primaries) and shorter lower layer feathers (coverts) on the outer wing (Figure 1). This distinction means that parent stock chicks are feather sexable and their broiler progeny, although not feather sexable, will have males and females feathering at the same rate as each other. Smaller egg size, better hatchability, better shell quality, and potentially increased chicks per hen housed are other advantages of the Indian River Meat FF.
