Brazilian Singer Chicken
Brazilian singing fowl , called galo músico de Minas in Portuguese, is a common breed of chicken in Brazil that is attributed to the long crows .
ancestry
Brazilian singing fowl are descended from Bergische long crows , which were introduced by German immigrants in the 19th century. In Brazil, they were crossed with local fighting chicken strokes, resulting in the occasional pea combs , pale yellow runs, and red ear lobes . In the 1960s, more Bergische Kräher from Germany were crossed.
features
The crossings resulted in numerous variations in color, shape and pen drawing.
The basic shape is erect, legs and beak are all yellow. The crow's cry is long and relatively loud. It should be 8–12 seconds. The hens lay around 120 light brown eggs weighing around 60 grams.
Little emphasis is placed on the color and drawing of the animals. Porcelain-colored ones with a very light base color and almost white wings are common.
