Toutenko (long-crowing chicken)

Gallus gallus domesticus

The Toutenko is a long-crowing chicken developed in Kochi Prefecture, whose roosters crow for more than ten seconds at a time. Its lingering call is its signature and has made it a favorite ornamental bird. It is preserved with its culture as a breed created in Japan.
