The performance of six dual-purpose, smallholder-focused chicken breeds (Fulani, FUNAAB Alpha, Kuroiler, Noiler, Sasso and Shikabrown®) was evaluated under intensive management at two locations in Nigeria. Data on live performance, morphology, physiology and carcass characteristics were collected. Adaptability characteristics were higher in Fulani, FUNAAB Alpha and ShikaBrown breeds. Kuroiler, Sasso and FUNAAB Alpha had higher (p<0.05) morphometric indices. Carcass characteristics were higher (p<0.05) for Kuroiler, FUNAAB Alpha, Noiler and Sasso breeds. Noiler and Sasso had the highest dressing percentage (69.2%) and muscle to bone ratio (2.8), respectively. The physiological characteristics of the breeds fell within the normal range for chickens. The six breeds were well adapted to the hot humid environment of Nigeria.     La performance de six races de poulets a double usage et axees sur les petits exploitants (Fulani, FUNAAB Alpha, Kuroiler, Noiler, Sasso et Shikabrown®) a ete evaluee sous gestion intensive a deux endroits au Nigeria. Des donnees sur les performances en direct, la morphologie, la physiologie et les caracteristiques de la carcasse ont ete recueillies. Les caracteristiques d'adaptabilite etaient plus elevees chez les races peuls, FUNAAB Alpha et ShikaBrown. Kuroiler, Sasso et FUNAAB Alpha avaient des indices morphometriques plus eleves (p<0.05). Les caracteristiques de la carcasse etaient plus elevees (p<0.05) pour les races Kuroiler, FUNAAB Alpha, Noiler et Sasso. Noiler et Sasso avaient le pourcentage d'habillage le plus eleve (69.2 %) et le rapport muscle/os (2.8), respectivement. Les caracteristiques physiologiques des races se sont tombees dans la fourchette normale pour les poulets. Les six races etaient bien adaptees a l'environnement chaud et humide du Nigeria.
