Nine of Chicken - Go find the legendary birds on nine of the land group

The perfect festive carnival princess toast the Son Tinh found only in legend, but now, in the middle of the jungle, Phu Tho, where the "intensive painting with glass" of the Xuan Son, in the pristine village of the knife, I did "take the" species of precious birds.

Location of "chicken legend"

Not own one myself, but just long thought that birds with nine of the "elephant ivory ripe, ripe red horse mao" is colored creatures legendary. Yet, the reality is completely opposite, in you view, Xuan Son, Tan Son, Phu Tho has existed in legend was the first bird, but people here still call each other by the name "God chicken ".

Want to find you saw no other way is to climb the hill, forest and ice through the flowing streams overflow their banks astride the road. Go to are you considered also means that have come to the end of the Xuan Son, scene of a deserted and quiet, only a few undulating roof is hidden in the dim mist of the mountains northwest.

People in the and also the owner of the bird species, nine of the Dao ethnic minority people, have lived for thousands of years in the land of "deep with painted glass" is. Their lives are largely self-sufficient and self-, food and water are extracted from nature, almost completely isolated from the outside world.

Wander around the original, shows a 60-year-old farmer Trac knit back hui taken captive birds, think belly make a chicken house, I immediately inquired into and indeed not unexpected. I was old farmer named Nguyen Van Mirror, said: "In this world of many of the forestry cooked chicken, but because just then a pandemic, so much death, bringing together people of all tables remaining on top of chicken the hills, up the floor, stables to feed and look after them for help is always on the attack from pests and diseases.

When I expressed their wish to visit nine of a chicken farm, farmer mirrors that seem afraid, I asked why then he said: "chicken farm near the top of the hill, steep and very long distance, you have to be not ? ".

Spent traveling to work here, is available so the hands of aggressive young journalist looking to discover new things, I said confidently: "Yes Uncle, your grandchildren to follow up on the chicken farm, to view of a chicken was cooked for. " I saw this, immediately agreed farmer, told me to wait to take little old to take up instruments in place of 'God bird. "

Washed by a small road immediately after the floor wall of the old farmer Nguyen Van mirror, I began the journey up to the item of chicken secondary offering market has contributed to the victory Son Tinh and Thuy Tinh marry daughter of King Hung.

The path up the hill, only the slope but have taken a bit of street ball in order to relax, more than half an hour, I stepped disintegration.

Seeing this, he showed me a stone mirror told me I get very little rest, while I breathe a bit old farmer told me "its not what you claim to this, many people also like to go, but all are going tired and would turn down ".

Chicken cooked rooster spur not only that both hens

Those words of the old farmer made me even more determined to climb to the place to be with, remaining distance, I almost went cow-style drag on the ground where the slope is too high, it takes nearly two hours, I put chicken legs are cooked to the door.

Each of the family chicken farms here are not widely separated breeding, to miss camp missed this epidemic does not spread to the other camp, the old Mirror said.

Then he did not have to wait long to find mirrors farmer arrested nine of the chicken while I'm five-five hand the camera to capture the moment "a thousand years" is.

Chicken cooked the day from the time a child was able to easily detect

Holding a variety of cooked chicken spurs, old farmer said: "Chicken ripening means the toes and the addition of chicken grow on the elbows, not only chicken but also nine of the 10 chicken or even 11 or 12 doors. But according to legend, those are just 9 of the last round is the most complete, dedicated to the advancement ancient king. Therefore, it is calling for only nine of chicken breeds much of this special place. "

In the same age, with a mother that still have a chicken-type chickens and nine of the children have no brain. If much of the chicken, as a child was discernible at the elbows. Spur chickens more slender body, normal or run up the hill bamboo, digging worms for cultivation, catching crickets, occasionally get hold of maize, rice grasp of the culture.

Just nine of eating chicken from 4 am to dark, the automatic grill bell crank with bamboo, thatched palm leaves, not in captivity at all. Was 5-6 months old, weighs about roosters 7-8 taels, start to code, set neck. Hen weighs about 5-6 ounces of the meat has been demanded and then jump drive.

Chicken nine of very strong, especially their legs are very flexible, want to catch a chicken ripening also not easy, if not kept in cages that the only way to start casting a net or does it aim.

The chickens of nine of the species are very aggressive, often mirrors old farmer house them separately to a barn, if not very easily prevail "melee," chickens will panic difficult to breed.

One thing in particular that he told Mirror that is appropriate only nine of the birds living in the climate of this region alone you saw, everyone carried on where it is "dead September 10, a child nodded," very new graphics I have survived. But no matter whether they lived could not have been physical and health like chicken in nine of the Xuan Son to this earth.

The risk of extinction nine of chicken

"Organic Natural radiation direction," rumors of the appearance spurs chicken cooked in Xuan Son has led many traders to Lung wing chicken cooked under the sweep of the night about money.

On average if you consider buying root in nine of chicken cost about 350.000/kg, but when you put on sale, traders often make the excessively high prices from 1 million - 2tr/1kg. However, most people buy chickens and nine of the plains are well-off class, want to enjoy "the good objects" so despite high prices, they buy with it.

Nine of chicken threatened with extinction in the Xuan Son

Notably, since nine of chicken consumption taken away, the more the raging pandemic, the number of chickens in nine of the Xuan Son has decreased significantly. In you view appeared to flock to stores to purchase nine of the birds, many specialty shops mountains began springing up around the area abound in Xuan Son which is chicken cooked specialties spurs, precious things legendary character.

Head of incompetence Dang Vinh Phuc said "The reason people revered and respected Dao 9 of chicken because it is the child of the forest god, the god of the mountain .... It was for that reason that 9 of the chicken has been a lot of traders and many tourists buy urgently sought by the high prices "skyrocket" to take forward work on the "gift".

On this momentum, and soon the shadow of the "Princess Chicken" will disappear from our communities Dao. So, now, always in the propaganda for people to know things with care "security context" is rare.

Risk oblivion rare breed in the legend of the nation, it's time we need to put chicken in 9 of the list of animals should be conserved emergency. Prohibited activities illegal trade to conservation first treasure in the land of the legendary Hung Kings.

Giant Snake - Found in China Scares Man to Death

A photo purporting to show a dead 55-foot snake has been making the rounds online, accompanied by a story that almost too outrageous to believe.

The photo and story originally appeared in the People’s Daily, which serves as the official newspaper for the Communist Party in China. It stated that the snake was one of two that were awakened by local workers digging up huge mounds of earth in preparation for a new road that was to cut through the forest that lay just outside of Gupiing city in the Chinese province of Jiangxi.

While one snake, which was reported to be 55-feet long and weigh approximately 300kg, became a casualty of the bulldozers digging, another one, described as a gold boa, appeared supposedly bearing its fangs, causing the workers to flee in terror.

The driver of the bulldozer, however, is said to have been paralyzed with fear. When the workers returned, he was so sick he could barely move, and eventually died at the hospital, presumably of a heart attack.

Despite the story and the accompanying photo, the local government has deemed it all a hoax, due in part to the distinct lack of native boas in that area. It was also thought the coelacanth was extinct until one was discovered in 1938, so to completely dismiss the story as a hoax is to laugh in the face of just how darned scary and unpredictable nature can be.
