Blue egg layers in China

[AlvinXsu-KMG]

How many chickens do you have?
Those are soo cute!
I love how their tails fluff up in the back!

I have over fifty chickens, and I keep them in my backyard and rooftops. I have some American and European breeds, such as Wyandotte, polish, lakenvelder, houdan. Others are local breeds of China. I know many Chinese chicken lovers. They have more breeds and bigger places to raise chickens. I got a lot of pictures from them.

I will bring more blue layers tomorrow.

I would be very interested in hearing you share your knowledge about the chickens in China. For me, I can say that living in the U.S. limits my very meager knowledge of fowl to the U.S. and Europe. I'd like to think that more people, myself included; would like to know more about chickens and other fowl of all countries! Thank you!
