Investigation was carried out on 500 Arbor Acres and Redbro chickens. On basis of the results obtained it can be concluded the following: Chickens of Arbor Acres genotype at the age of 42 days realized lower mortality, better feed conversion, higher body mass and higher realized value of production index; Chickens of Arbor Acres genotype had higher carcass yields. Statistically significant differences were established in carcass yields: ready to roast and ready to grill; Male chickens had higher values for all three investigated yields; Chickens reared in the facility had higher yields tradicional processing (83.86) compared to chickens reared on free range (82.96). Carcass yields: ready to roast and ready to grill were considerably higher in chickens reared in the facility.
