So 3/4 inch leg, wings touching ground, a very leveled stance, nice red comb and red earlobes, yellow shanks aand nice verticle tail carriage... is sort of the look... are eggs for this breed are white? Is it correct they come in different feather types (silky & frizzle)? If so on the silkies how would you tell a cross bred?

Anyone know anything about Uzurao (Japanese Small Rumplessness)?

Note the Black hair translation + "Uli meat" seems to mean breed's name based on "crow meat" as best I could figure it out. Anyway I like 'em.

I loved reading the "species" names! Especially the "go stones" and "cow lick"! Priceless!

LOL that is one of the reasons I posted the names, some just translated super fun. I definetly see birds I have never seen before as JBs. There is even a standad sized breed in Japan that is also bred to have short legs like the JB.

Jitokko [Japanese Creeper, Natural Monument designated in 1943]
This breed has an intermediate body shape between the RJE and Cochin types and is characterized by short legs controlled by the Cp gene. Some birds have a beard, muff and crest. This breed is thought established in the late stages of the Edo Era (1603 – 1867).
The prefecture of origin: Kagoshima Prefecture, Miyazaki Prefecture Standard BW in adults: 3,000 g in male, 2,500 g in female Plumage color varieties: black-breasted red, black, white, buff columbian Comb: pea or single (with or without crest)
Earlobe color␣red Shank color␣yellow



Sort of cool looking...

I guess Creeper refers to the Cp lethal gene?

This is from an abstract of a breeding experiment in Japan:
Abstract: The Creeper (Cp) gene from the Jitokko was introduced into the inbred strains, WL-G and NG-A, and two strains Cp (WL-G) and Cp (NG-A) were established in the gradings by successive backcrosses.
In the Cp (NG-A) strain, heterozygous parents produced the expected homozygous Cp/Cp embryos, 83.2% of which was viable on the 10th day of incubation and in the Cp (WL-G) strain viable homozygous Cp/Cpembryos were not obtained. Although the Cp (NG-A) showed high percentage of viable homozygous Cp/Cp embryos, the percentage decreased as maternal ages increased.

WL-G (White Leghorn G) and NG-A (Na-goya A)
