These cattle tend to have a more regular black coat and are smaller with longer hair, due to the rougher conditions in terms of terrain. The other type is land-dwelling.

Because of its beautiful head feathers, this breed of chicken is often raised as a pet. Polish chicken weighs from 1.8-2kg. This breed of chicken originated from the Central Netherlands. The remarkable point of Polish chicken is the large tuft of feathers on its head. However, this tuft of feathers limits their vision. If you think that scientists know all the origins of chickens, you are wrong, because for them, Polish chicken is still a breed of chicken with unknown origins.

According to most biologists in general and ornithologists in particular, Polish chickens may have originated in ancient Eastern Europe, at least a few thousand years ago. But no one knows why this breed of chicken has such strange feather colors and appearance. It is very possible that it is due to nature or it may be due to intentional crossbreeding by humans. This is similar to the long tail of Japanese chickens that used to give ornithologists a headache. Polish chickens are also called polish in some places, a type of ornamental chicken, not a meat chicken or an egg-laying chicken, although according to many scientific documents, in the past, people also considered them to be real industrial chickens. In some rural areas of Poland, Hungary or the Czech Republic, people only considered Polish chickens as fighting chickens during the spring holidays or as pets. In 1999, when poultry breeding techniques took a big step forward, the blue-feathered Polish chicken breed was born, pushing the number of this chicken club to a very high level. In the US, there are more than 200 clubs specializing in raising "shaggy-headed" chickens and regularly participating in annual chicken beauty contests in Texas. Americans have used gene-splicing techniques to create colorful Polish chickens or chickens with very long combs, or with shiny golden feathers. However, the strange beauty of this chicken breed lies in the tuft of feathers on the head, not the color of the feathers. Polish chickens are usually quite shy and easily frightened. They are raised as pets, for eggs or for meat. The feather color of this breed is often quite diverse from black, white, gray, purple... A female Polish chicken can lay 1 - 2 eggs a day. In the first clutch, their eggs are relatively small. In the second clutch, the eggs start to get bigger.

10. Indian Peacock

The Indian Peacock has a brilliant plumage that grows from its back, which is about 1.5 meters long – even longer than the bird’s body. When it wants to show off its beauty, it first raises the short inner tail feathers, then the longer feathers and spreads them out in a fan shape. The tail feathers of the peacock begin to grow at the age of 2, but it takes 2 years to fully develop. In addition, the feathers can also fall out and fly all year round.

Both breeds have a tuft of feathers on the top of the head and the neck are green. The head and body of the peacock are about 1 meter long.

This species of peacock originated from the land of sacred religions – India, Sri Lanka and is concentrated in South Asia. In other countries, they are also kept and introduced in exhibitions, parks, zoos, natural museums or as pets. Peacocks are a “polygamous” species, meaning that a male peacock can mate with many other females. Moreover, female peacocks do not like to “mark their territory” with their mates. The male spreads his tail and offers food to the female as a way to court his mate. The mating season of peacocks varies depending on where they live. In southern India, it is from April to May, in Sri Lanka from January to March, and in northern India, it is in June.

Normally, the female peacock is the only species that incubates the eggs. However, there have been recorded cases where the male incubates the eggs. After about 28 days, the young hatch and follow the mother everywhere. Sometimes, the mother peacock even lets her babies lie on her back and fly to a sturdy tree branch.

Those special green feathers can be up to 105m long, reaching their maximum length when the quetzal is 3 years old, the adult quetzal has a body length of about 35cm.
