This breed of chicken has a very long tail, which can be up to 7m long. The Onagadori chicken is unique in that its feathers, downy feathers as well as horse feathers develop throughout life. Besides, a highlight of this chicken breed is possessing a very long tail, which can be up to 7m long. It is estimated that each year Onɑgadori’s tail will increase by 1-1.5 m depending on how it is cared for. Because of its beautiful plumage, Onagadori chickens are often kept as pets or for display purposes. In Japan, the Onagadori chicken is a noble breed that has been protected by the government of this country for many years. Even the Onagadori chicken is considered to have an important role in Japanese culture. According to records, Onagadori chickens in the Thien Bao period (Tenpo) with a length of over 2m were common; in the Meiji period up to 3.6m. Until the Showa period (1926 – 1989) a length of about 8m was common, with the exception of a length of 13m in 1970. The tail feathers of a banana chicken were recorded to reach a length of 7 to 10cm per month and an individual reaches a tail length of up to 3m in 3 years. The tail length of the burnt variant is 8.9m while the tail length of the swallow variant was 10.3m circa 1965. Thus it is also the strangest of the nearly 10,000 feather species known to date. now and is the result of a passionate breeding process. The Onagadori chicken is unique in that the percentage of feathers, down feathers as well as horse feathers develop throughout life. Hens are similar to hens of other long-haired breeds. There are many levels of quality in Onagadori chickens: The highest levels are those with two to three pairs of feathers and between 60 and 70% of the tail feathers remain unchanged. The quality of Onagadori chickens also depends a lot on how they are raised and chickens with the highest genetic quality cannot develop to the desired length if the rearing regime is not appropriate. Onagadori chicken feathers are very soft on the chest, can be blown into the feathers and they will move and stand up. Stiff fur is a sign of crossbreeding. The hen’s tail should be full of feathers, with long feathers and thick coat feathers. The swallow-colored Onagadori chicken must have yellow legs with yellow white ears. Another leg color in swallows is olive gray. The right ear is white, naturally genetically associated with a yellowish-greenish tinge of the leg pigment. Banana silver and cashew without a dark stripe in the middle of the mane and very little in the ponytail. Onagadori hens are good at laying and incubating eggs, if raised in large numbers, they should be artificially incubated and the chicks should be raised in warm and dry coops. The selection process is based on temperament (too aggressive chickens will bite their own tails, gentle and domesticated chickens are easier to raise successfully), the number of tail feathers (each rooster must have over 40 tail feathers and phoenix feathers). ) and code feathers. The Onagadori chicken, which grows in the mild climate of the southern Japanese island of Shikoku, is suitable for a climate that is neither too hot nor too cold. If raised in colder areas, the cage should be heated. If rearing in hotter areas, it is necessary to create shade and ventilation. If chickens are suddenly stressed, such as being chased by dogs, cats or children, they may respond by stiffening their feathers and then shedding them altogether. Roosters used for breeding often lose three-quarters of their previous feathers because of their aggressive mating activities. A rooster, when brought to its own cage, quickly grows its tail. In our country, the trend of raising ornamental chickens has also received a lot of response, the giants are willing to spend up to tens, hundreds of millions of dong just to own 1 Onagadori chicken to “play”. Some places specializing in Onagadori chickens said that when customers order, they will advise many different variations of Onagadori chicken. There are animals that can be sold for 45-65 million VND and which one is more beautiful, longer tail will cost over 100 million VND, which is normal.

Is it true that the women born in April, as I know, most of them love flowers and have artist blood, so they are sometimes surprised by flowers? April and lilies season is still blossoming red horizon of memories. The smell of memories is still fragrant every day with the season of lilies blooming in front of the home garden, red flowers of desires and love! The brilliant flowers of April are closely related to my childhood, in a place far upstream of the Red River – My childhood hometown – where a high mountain and white clouds fly to the border of Lao Cai!

In those days, I was naive when my hair was tied up in ponytails! My countryside in Lao Cai at that time did not have white lilies like now. Around the house we lived in were many beautiful flowers planted by my parents who loved them passionately. There are many fragrant flowers such as rose flower, chrysanthemum, fairy hair, jasmine, lily … planted in front of the garden! Spring is always beautiful, featured plum blossoms blooming white!

A simple thatched house made by my father on the hillside of a young man gave him. The house is located on the back of a grassy hill with four seasons of clouds and mountains that are very beautiful. Now I still remember that lovely cottage with its simple windows painted blue. Below the foothills of my house are green rice fields! I often hang out as friends with flowers and gardens more than going out in the mountains. The house is on the back of the hill so it is quite sunny and windy and the wild flowers are blooming, the flowers offer their fragrance and bloom happily throughout the four seasons!

Particularly, the velvet lilies were planted in large clusters by my father, both in the front and the back of the house. Every time that red lilies bloom in your garden, it’s like a season’s privilege. Because flowers bloom for a long time, when I was a child I did not pay any attention to what month they bloom, only later did I grow up that flowers bloom in late spring, the right season for me! Children are inherently carefree and innocent like flowers!

The velvet trumpet is crimson and vibrant in color, and the wings are as smooth as velvet! Maybe because it is rare and its beauty shines right from the inside, it is called velvet lilies? This flower originated from Japan and is often grown to decorate in cold country gardens or resorts such as Sapa, Tam Dao or Dalat.

From the day I lived in the capital, I rarely saw them, while the white lilies – also known as Hue Tay, which are from the same family of lilies, in Hanoi there are too many! The white trumpet is also known as Bach Hop or Tay Hue flower! Hearing the name also seems to be Western, but the soul is still Vietnamese! The famous painting “The Girl by the Flower” by painter To Ngoc Van has made the white trumpet even more popular!

Although the red trumpet is less known, its beauty and scent are just as brilliant! Velvet lilies bloom red radiantly the aspirations of childhood and each cluster is made into many branches, in bunches of flowers and buds on each branch. The velvet trumpet has the beauty of reunion, elegance and reunion with red velvet petals and the interesting thing is that right in the heart of each flower is the highlight of the pure white star and glittering yellow color in the sun. ! The leaves are big and long, also of the kind of grass so it is soft, green and elongated, and big. The leaves are many, growing around the flowers, looking very beautiful and especially the match, because looking at the leaves is always like dancing dancers!

This flower brings joy to the owner and every family when it blooms! This flower represents joy, reunion and happiness, for peace and reunion, for the crowding and descendants of families and clans! Red velvet horns will definitely bring elegance and luck to its owner and when brought into the house, they make your living room glow.

April! Lilies blooming season red! The season of love and love! Sitting hard all day in heaps of colors and math, just enough time for me to finish painting the red velvet lilies – as a sincere gratitude to my mother and I paint another picture of white lilies – species The fragrant Hue Tay, dedicated to her birthday!

The April flowers are blooming in my painting and the April flowers are also joining the sky to offer incense and flourish! The fragrant flowers are still blooming in season! Beautiful flowers because of Spring but become more beautiful! The beautiful flowers are more fragrant for human hearts, more fragrant, moving and seductive!

April about! Brilliantly remember the old red trumpet seasons! Is it because of me that flowers bloom forever?
