Malay

Poor Malays. They get a bad reputation for being a nasty chicken breed. Well, okay... it's deserved. These guys are quite aggressive, so we don't recommend them to novices! In appearance, they're kind of scary looking -- long legs, muscular bodies, tight, short feathers and upward slanting eyes.
