Large

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.
