The earliest long tailed fowl were found in China, but during the 17th century Japan became the centre for their development. The Japanese are experts in keeping their tails growing all season. By adjusting the lighting and heating the tails continue to grow up to a metre per year. In normal conditions, over here, the birds moult and re-grow their tails each year. The Red-Saddled variety was developed in Germany by Hugo de Roi, but is not recognised in their native Japan. . Available as both large and bantam.
Main Colours:
Red Saddled, Black-Red, White, Silver Duckwing, Gold Duckwing.
