Gray Chittagong Cockerel

The Bangladeshi Brahma Chicken is an Bangladeshi breed of chicken. The distinctive head shape and pea comb of the Brahma probably result from cross-breeding with Grey Chittagong birds of Malay type, imported from Chittagong in eastern Bengal (now Bangladesh); these characteristics distinguish the Brahma from the Cochin, which also derives from "Shanghai" birds. It is considered as the "“National poultry of Bangladesh”" respectively.
