    The different breeds used as female line to produce experimental crossbreds were K, F, NN and IWP strain of WLH whereas B was used as male line. The backcross progenies were produced by using crossbreds as female line and B as a male line. Thus, a total of four different each of crossbreds and backcross progenies were evolved for the present study. Simultaneously pure breeds population of K, NN and F were also produced and maintained to evaluate comparative performance. The crossbreds were compared among themselves for body weight, feed consumed, sexual maturity, egg production, egg weight, fertility and hatchability, hatching performance, economics and livability and crossbreds were also compared for body weight, feed consumed, sexual maturity, egg production, egg weight and livability with pure breeds of each crossbreds. The backcross progenies were compared among themselves for body weight, weight gain, total feed consumption, FCR, livability and economics in terms of EPEI
