The hens crow like roosters

It is a crowing chicken - which is a rare phenomenon where hens crow like roosters.[3][4]

The most qualitative traits of Kokok Balenggek chickens include colored plumage, a wild-type pattern, plain feathers, golden sickle feathers, yellow shank color, and a single comb.[5]

It is a long-crowing chicken breed, characterised by the unusually long-drawn-out crow of the cocks, which may in some cases last for up to 60 seconds.[6]
