The Jangmigye, also known as the Ginkkori-dak, is one of the heritage breed of chicken from Korea that noted for its long tail.[1] Males of this breed can have tails of up to 1.5m (04.9feet) in length.[2] The breed is estimated to have arisen in Korea in the middle of the third century. The Ginkkoridak is listed by the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization.[3]
The breed has existed since ancient Korea but almost disappeared in the early 1900s due to the introduction of commercial chicken farming with non-native breeds. One farmer is believed to have obstinately maintained the Ginkkoridak; there are 250 individuals held in conservancy.
Unlike the Onagadori, a Japanese breed of long-tailed chicken, the tail feathers of the Ginkkoridak molt annually after the rainy season.
