This work was conducted to evaluate the hatching and growing performance of Korean Native Chicken(KNC) 3 strains crossbred. A total of 360 female pullets were produced from CY×C(A), CL×C(B), CG×C(C) and CW×C(D) crossbred kept in National Institute of Animal Science, Korea. Hatchability of A, B, C and D were 69.8, 70.7, 75.5 and 77.4%, respectively. Viabilities were not significantly different by 20 weeks among 4 strains. Body weight of 4 strains were 1,532, 1,557, 1,495 and 1,434 g, respectively, at 20 weeks. These results suggested the basic data that needed to develope the new strains.
