hello everyone,

i ran across a truly beautiful video about .... beauty pageants for
chickens in malaysia. but these aren't just any chickens, these are the
world's smallest chicken breed, ayam serama, that originated in the
malaysian state of kelantan. they are kept and bred purely for ornamental
reasons and are geven the opportunty to strut their stuff every weekend at
local beauty pageants.

get some ayam seramas and raise them myself!

three clucks for tiny chickens,
