 Hi Marc,
 
 
The Kosova Long-Crowing Rooster is called Drenica rooster (Drenica is province in Kosova).
 
In many villages like Polac, Terstenik and the city of Drenas (capital country of Drenica Region) has been enough populations of these breeds in the past. Villagers are kept them in their yards.
 
The DRENICA breed is not profitable regarding the eggs, for this reason many families stopped breeding them and brought in other, egg-laying breeds, which is more profitable, regarding eggs.
 
This is one reason for their decline; the second reason is, in our country the greater concentration of Kosova people is in the cities, because in the cities it is easier to get jobs. People then lost interest in keeping chickens in the cities.
 
The DRENICA breed has been raised by enthusiasts who have maintained the breed, and they collected (and are collecting) these breeds from villages to their homes in cities. Some of these people, I would like to mention here are: Jakup Gipsy (now deceased), from Pristina, Ahmet Kasapi from Pristina (also deceased), Sabri also Gipsy, from Pristina, (after the war we do not know where he is). The most important person for this breed is a Mr. Ali from Mitrovica.
 
Mr. Ali is one of most famous enthusiasts who has been keeping the tradition of cultivation of this breed. Champions of Kosova long crow roosters have come from his farm in Mitrovica, crowing up to 60 seconds! Mr. Ali is a specialist in knowing which hen with which rooster is good combination. After the war in1999 in Kosova there were not many chickens, but enthusiasts are beginning again to keep this breed.
 
Mr. Ali from Mitrovica still if one of the best breeders and has other enthusiast which are keeping this race, they are from Polac,Likoshan,Terstenik, Vushtrri, Prishtina and other cities, that I know of.
 
Regards,
