BERAT
This breed, which originated in Albania and Yugoslavia, is named after the town of Berat in Albania. It is a long-crower with a bass voice and a crow lasting up to 15 seconds.
Berat fowl was introduced into Turkey years ago by Albanian and Bosnian immigrants. Today there are few breeders of them in Turkey. The Berat is very rare in its homeland, former Yugoslavia because of war, where it is almost extinct. (text by Mehmet Akdeniz) |
