China's high-quality woodchuck breed type can be roughly divided into three kinds, the following details
1, production performance, body appearance is more consistent chicken
This kind of chicken breed in the habit of raising a color of chicken in the place or inconvenient areas of self-propagation, so as to make the chicken species to maintain a certain characteristic features, the former, such as the Jiangsu Dongqiao HeMaTang area has a black big chicken custom, forming a black wolf mountain chicken production areas, the latter, the latter, the black wolf mountain chicken production areas, the latter, the black wolf mountain chicken production areas, the black wolf mountain chicken production areas, the latter, the black wolf mountain chicken, the black wolf mountain chicken production areas, the black wolf mountain chicken production areas. The former, such as Jiangsu Dongqiao Hematang area has the custom of raising black big chicken, forming the black wolf mountain chicken production area, the latter, such as Fujian Longyan area of the river field chicken.

2, production performance, physical appearance of the chicken varieties of large differences
This type of chicken species can be said to be the majority of China's high-quality native chicken varieties. Such as Zhejiang's Xianju chicken, on the physical structure or neurological type, it is the egg type of chicken, but its hair color varies greatly, and in recent years to the direction of the meat and eggs selection and breeding.

In fact, the local did have yellow-feathered, white-feathered, flower-feathered chickens, and even yellow-feathered ebony chicken exists.
Many of China's high-quality local chicken varieties are known for their large size, but in fact, the production area of the large size of the minority. Large, medium and small mixed, such as can not be distinguished, chicken breed purification work is also difficult to carry out. This kind of chicken breed, still need to do a lot of purification and breeding work.

Tibetan chickens like to perch on the roof beams at night, laying very few eggs, resistant to living conditions in the plateau area. According to economic use, most of the local chicken breeds in China belong to the part-time type. Some are mainly used for meat, for meat type, favoring eggs, for egg type, individual ornamental or medicinal varieties. The high quality local chickens mentioned in this book mainly refer to the excellent local breeds of chickens used for meat.
