Long-crowing chicken

Long-crowing chicken breeds are characterised by the unusually long-drawn-out crow of the cocks, which may in some cases last for up to 60 seconds.

[2]: 97  Long-crowing breeds are found in the Far East, in Turkey, in the Balkans and in western Germany.

The earliest reference to long-crowing cocks is in the writings of Li Ji, dating from the reign of Emperor Xuan of Han (75–49 BC).

In Japan the first references are from the early eighth century, in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki chronicles.

[1]: 44 In Germany, Indonesia and Japan, there is an established tradition of cock-crowing contests with local birds.
