⑥WenShang Luhua chicken
First of all, I want to say, "Luhua" in Chinese means the flowers of reeds. Chinese people like to name animals with something similar once. Though they look very much like barred rock chicken, but I'm sure they are not the same breed.
Wenshang Luhua chicken has a long history. They come from the northern China of Wenshang County in Shandong province. As early as the Ming Dynasty, local people began to feed a large number of this chickens. During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, there were records of "Wenshang Luhua Chicken" on the records of the people and Wenshang County.
Although they were very popular in ancient times, they almost disappeared in 1949 after the founding of New China. When people discovered this, they were less than pandas.
Later, as many foreign breeds came into China, the cost of raising Luhua chickens became higher and higher. Take barred rock, which is similar to them, for example, Luhua grew slower, thinner, smaller and p
layed fewer eggs than barred. As a result, most chicken farmers slowly eliminated Luhua chickens and turned to foreign breeds or hybrid breeds (including barred rock, a substitute for luhua). Very soon, the origin of Wenshang is also hard to see Luhua chicken.
Until 2004. The turning point came when Luhua Chicken Association was established in Wenshang, a national conservation farm and a standardized chicken house were established, and the most advanced hatching equipment in China was used. Since then, pure Luhua Chicken has been truly preserved.
But now, most people still think their barred is Luhua.However, I think the color of the Luhua should be cockoo, not barred. Though they are very similar.
Luhua chicken has 130-150 eggs per year, up to 180. Their eggs are pink or white. 5% of the Luhua chicken has blue eggs.Now China's chicken lovers have chosen specialized breeding of luhua chicken with blue eggs. And has succeeded. They get nearly 100% of the blue eggs.
Most of the Luhua chickens are white with skin, feet, and beak.
Their tail feathers are upturned to make them look like China's ingots. At the same time, Luhua comb is very special, rooster comb is not big, but the hen comb is not small.
