Brahma Chicken for Pet

Brahma is a large chicken class that is rising for its meat or eggs. Most breeders use it for its large meat. I believe that the chicken from India. It  has been widespread to world. The chicken weighs 5.5 kilogram and the feather is so thick becuase the chicken comes from the subtropical chicken. The feather almost covers all body including the shanks.

In my opinion, the chicken is not good as pet because it is not simple. The feather or plumage is not beautiful too the Brahma is not different to Rhode Island Red, Wyandotte, Langshan, and others. The variation color of the chicken is just white, buff, birchen, black, dark and others.  

You need large coops to raise the chicken and also high. You also need more chicken feed for the Brahma too due it’s has large size. I do not see a good reason to raise the chicken for the pet. The chicken voice is just same with other chicken.

In US and United Kingdom, the birds are not competed as the show Bird. Perhaps there is some competition fro the Brahma but as the utility chicken.

I my country, people sales the chicken as the pets because it is unique. The Brahma is rare in my country. Perhaps people raise the chicken because it’s rarely and uniquely.

I think ever people has right to raise any chicken as the pet. The chicken is tame and it is good for pet. They can stand with cold or hot weather.

Bantam Naked Neck hybrid

In my opinion, this chicken is the most geek in the world because the bantam has no feather on its neck. I think the looks will like small vulture or small guinea fowl. I never imagine cross the necked neck with bantam because it is useless. A bantam is chicken with a nice performance but necked neck has geek performance.

The hybrid that has large single comb but has no neck feather is very geek. The hybrid may has pea comb like the naked neck but it is small like the bantam. I think you will not raise the bird at yur house or your backyard. The price is not good too because there 

I think the chicken lover will not buy the chicken because it is very strange. Supposedly, they cross the bantam with other bantam such as silkie, sebright bantam, Belgian and others. The hybrid may produce a new beautiful bantam. You may cross the bantam to frizzle chicken to produce the frizzle bantam.

On the other hand, we can cross the necked neck with other big chicken such as game bird, Bangkok, and others. The naked neck is often crossed to game bird produce the bad game bird.

Sulmtaler The Heavy Meat Chicken From Austria

This chicken are domesticated from Austria. In order to create a heavy meat chicken, the Sulmtaler breeders crosses variant chicken such as Dorking, Houdan, and Cochin. The bird is heavy and the good layer too. The hen can lays 150-180 eggs a  year but the hen is non sitters. The egg weigh 55 gram.
People raise the chicken for both meat and eggs. The rosters weigh 3-4 kilogram and the hen 2-2,5 kilogram.

Either hen and roster has crest below its comb. The crest does not cover the eye because its  grow to back. Sulmtaer has thick plumage and the clean feet.

Kediri’s Phoenix Chicken: Onagodori From Kediri, East Java

Kediri Phoenix gets its name from the city where the bird has been raised. Kediri is a municipal at east Java Province (Provinsi Jawa Timur), Indonesia. The breeder has named phoenix because its long tail looks like the phoenix bird. Actually, the phoenix is different to roosters because it cannot fly. The rooster’s tail feather could reach one meter in long;whereas hen's tails is not long as the rosters. The hen tail’s is almost similar to common chicken. This bird is very special because its tail. The color of the Phoenix is silver duckwing. The breasted and tail is black but the neck and the wing color is silver and red. The color is not different to Onagodori. There are nice red single comb at the head with double wattle. The rosters has bigger comb than the hen. There are white earlobes. The feet are green willow. The chicken is slim and it is for show bird. The Kediri is descendant of the Onagodori. We are not doubt about it. The breeder names it Kediri Phoenix because it is lived at the Kediri. Of course United States Poultry standard or any Poultry standard does not admire the Kediri because it is Onagodori. Perhaps the breeder also crossed it to Indonesia native chicken (I do not know it exactly) In my country, people name any species when they success breed at here. Of course the International does not recognize the breed as a new breed. In my country people do not think about name. They will give name that they think that is very good for them. I do not also mind with it. The bird is expensive. A Kediri price could reach $100, compared for common chicken that is only $10.

The Large and Small bantam

In my country, Indonesia, the pet sellers divide the Bantam into two kinds: Large bantam and small bantam. The large are named for the bantam that has larger body than the small. Either the large or the large weigh is not more than one kilogram. I think the large size is similar to silkie bantam or Poland; while the small size is same as Javanese bantam or Japanese bantam. Some small bantam size is almost similar to Serama.

The small bantam is more expensive than the large. People raise the small because it is simple and more beauty. People said that the small is the pure bantam; meanwhile the large must be a bantam descendent. Some chicken lover crosses the bantam to others chicken such as broiler or local chicken. I have written some years ago about Japanese Bantam that bears the longer shank legs chicken. Around a quarter or 25% of the Japanese descendant has longer shank. The descendent is higher than the parents. The performance is not good as the parent. I love the Small because it is fun and I do not have to feed them with more chicken feed. I can also save the chicken feed. The small also need small space, we just need small coops or pen. We can breed the small at small space. The way of walk bantam is funny. Meanwhile the larger is also good too. The large must provide more meat than the small. It is not wrong to eat the bantam chicken because the meat is not different to other chicken. We can raise the large at the backyard as the meat reserves. I do not know what the standardization for the Indonesia Bantam is because we have no standardization poultry association in our country, not like United States or Great Britain. United States has a standard for the chicken bantam. The weigh mature chicken is not more than one kilogram. The wing is angle down, touching the land or floor. The size is small than the common chicken. Either United States or Great Britain does not categorize into large or small. United states just recognize real bantam or unreal bantam. Real bantam is the bantam that has no other varieties; while the bantam is derivation from the standard chicken. The breeder select the bantam from the standard chicken that the characters is almost similar unless its size.

Kraienkoppe Chicken : the chicken from German-Netherlands border

The chicken comes on the border German-Netherland it has been originated from the country. The Netherland name from the chicken is Twents Hoen. The chicken is large enough, weighing to 2.5 kilogram (6 pounds) and the hen’s weigh is around 1.8 kilogram (4 pounds). The chicken performance looks like game fowl, which is high. It is not surprisingly that the chicken is similar to the game fowl because it is a descendent of Malays. A German breeder found the Krainkoppe in 1920and the chicken was shown 1925 in Germany for the first time. Though the looks like game fowl but it is not a game fowl. They are raise for the ornamental chicken or chicken show and as a layer chicken. The hen lays fair number white eggs and they will go broody too. You can raise the chicken at your backyard due its good foraging ability. The head is medium size, relative to its body. The beak is medium in size and the chicken has small pea comb above its head. The skin of the chicken is yellow. There are two variations of the chicken plumages i.e. Black breasted red and black breasted silver. The chicken is rare now.
