The "laughing" breed of Chicken (odd laughing crow) .

I found this article about them,

MAGELANG, KOMPAS.com - At first glance there is nothing special with this chicken. Shape, color, and size similar to chicken in general. However, who would have thought this could sound unique chicken-like people laughing.

That is why it is called chicken laugh. Chicken is a chicken laughter coming from the Regency Sidenreng Rappang (Sidrap), South Sulawesi, about 184 kilometers from Makassar.

From the region of origin, the chicken is called chicken manugaga. Manu means chicken and Gaga means stuttering or stammering chicken.

In addition to laughing, this chicken also can make a sound like dangdut, slow rock, and even rock. According to the Bugis community trust, the chicken is also able to bring good luck.

So it is no wonder, when the selling price of chicken is very expensive laughter to tens of millions of dollars. Today many who hunt chickens kept laughing to himself or sold again.

On some occasions, these chickens are also contested. One of the chicken business was laughing Suhardjo (54), Hamlet Bayanan, Banjarnegoro, Mertoyudan, Magelang regency, Central Java.

Businesses that occupied a sideline because everyday he worked as a civil servant in Magelang Kesbangpolinmas. Suhardjo arguably the first person in Magelang who have this business.

Suhardjo told, beginning to pursue this business by accident. One afternoon when he was resting in the backyard, looking at the former aviary cucak rowo.

"At that time I think, what to do with the now empty cage is. Suddenly my wife called and said on television was broadcast about the chickens laugh," he said. He was soon listening to the show on television.

"It was also my business instincts immediately arise. Well, perhaps now," he thought at the time. Incidentally, the office where she worked in the Department of Manpower and Transmigration (before moved to Kesabangpolinmas) gave him the task to the task of finding land in the area of Sulawesi migrants.

So he set off duty there. Once the task is completed, he went on to Sidrap to "hunt" chicken manugaga. Since that time only bring money Rp 10 million, he just memdapatkan manugaga 17 tail instead of chicken breeding.

So he began raising chickens laughing. After a while, he again thought, when chickens can lay eggs because it is still small. Two months after he bought, he then sold all his chickens.

"At that time, the chicken was sold USD 21.5 million. So within two months, I was lucky Rp12, 5 million," said the husband of Savitri Dwi this.

Sales results were then bought again laugh chicken breeding. Currently, he pick the 11 chickens and 5 females laughing laughter male chickens.

From the number of chickens owned by this time, he has begun to reap results. Since the chicken has repeatedly laying and hatching.

To chickens with age 0 weeks ( kuthuk ), the price reached Rp 300,000 per chicken. Orders continue to come even she could keep serving customers.

"If one wants to buy should be indented first two months of having to stand in line," said the father of two sons and grandfather of two grandchildren. Suhardjo principled, because this business of living things, he did not want to receive the cash advance first. The new money he received when the chicken is really already hatched.

"Once I receive the money upfront and the rest is given when chickens are hatched. Apparently, the chicken did not hatch, so I put it back the money," said the man was born in Yogyakarta.

Almost every week, laughing chickens lay eggs and hatch had. In that period, he could obtain the results of at least Rp 6.5 million.

Laughing Chicken originated from Sidrap, South Celebes, Indonesia. In Sidrap, people call it Ayam Gaga. Physically, this kind of chicken is like ordinary chicken. The specialty of this kind of chicken is its laugh-like crowing but sometimes, its sound is like small turtledove.
Long years ago, Buginese nobleman adopted it as a favorite pet in Buginese palace. People love laughing chicken because of its sound, instead of its meat and egg. Laughing Chicken became symbol of social status for royal family. This fact made Laughing Chicken rare because ordinary people were unwilling to adopt Laughing Chicken

I saw that also, that is a heck of a price tag for a chicken.
I will just hope to stumble upon the background on the bird and what they may have crossed to create the birds. I believe that the is some Long Crower in then just do to the length of the crow.
