This is the Turkish long-crowing fowl.
The breed was developed in the southwestern part of Turkey, near the town of Denizli.

Its crow can last 15-35 seconds.
A first year bird has a crow of 20-25 seconds.
Length of the crow diminishes after three years of age.
Three types of crows exist: light, Davudi (medium), and coarse. Davudi is a single and clear voice.

The neck and legs of these birds are long. The breast is deep and wide and a squirrel tail is the norm for the breed. Rose and single combs both occur. Denizli fowl appear in 5 color varieties:
Demirkyr (a balanced mixture of black and white);
Pamukkyr (more white color than black color);
Kinali (red spots on the wings);
Al (Red) (a mixture of red and black colors);
Black (completely black, no white feathers).

Cocks weigh 3-3.5 kg (7-8.5 lb) and hens 2-2.5 kg (5-6 lb). This is not a highly fertile breed, so a male should only be given 3 hens in a breeding pen.

Chicks are black or yellowish black and are slow to feather out, maturing at about eight months. Around 70 eggs are produced yearly and the hens are nonsitters.
