If you think the Dong Tao is expensive wait till you see the price for the Ayam Cemani chicken breed. For a breeding pair of this chicken breed, you are looking at around $2500. They are also terrible mothers! So, it is no wonder that this breed is very rare and considered a delicacy in Vietnam. They lay about maybe 2 to 3 a week and most of them are broken due to the chicken’s clumsy large feet.īreeders have to be rather vigilant in finding the eggs and getting them into incubators to have a better chance of getting hatchlings. As they have really large legs and feet they are not very good with their own eggs, not that the hens lay that many. The legs can get to about the thickness of an adult males’ wrists. They are called the Dragon Chickens because of their extremely thick legs and large feet. Originally from Dong Tao village in the Khoai Chau District of Vietnam, these chickens are also referred to as the Dragon Chicken. They are a breed that is much sort after and prized for its meat in Vietnam. The Dong Tao chicken breed is very rare and getting more so. We may not be able to raise a black panther but maybe we could try to save a few heritages and or endangered/rare chicken breeds! This, in turn, allows for the growing of an organic garden and so on.īut when we look to saving our planet we should also be looking into what we can do for those magnificent species that are dying out. A lot of people are looking into owning backyard chickens as a way of producing their own eggs, maybe meat and organic fertilizer.
As we try and make our way of life greener we look to trying to buy more organic vegetable, we have switched from plastic straws to cardboard ones.
