Very Rare Korean Ogol Chicken

[fwschrom]

My wife ( the one who didn't want me to get chickens but has mellowed ) wants me to get Korean Ogol chickens next year. Are any of these in the United States? They are pretty rare even in Korea.

Here is a link: http://www.animalpicturesarchive.com/view.php?tid=2&did=12529

These are really a black chicken, black skin, black bones, black meat.

I have searched BYC, the internet, found zero for sources.

I doubt they could be imported as I looked on the USDA site and Korea is on the no-no list for Avain Flu.

Any help on finding these would be appreciated.

Does it taste like chihuahua?

Seriously though, they sound interesting.

I would not be surprised if they are very closely related to the Black Sumatras.

Sounds to me like they're related to silkies, just different feathering.

They sure have a Sumatra look to them.

Very beautiful! They do look like sumatras, makes sense, they are all from the same parent stock.

Yeonsan Ogye

That is the same as the one I listed. So where do I find them?

That's a poser because most of the Asian countries are probably on our no-import list due to "bird flu". Your best bet would be to try to find a breeder in Europe or Canada.
