Taiwanese Game
Breed of chicken From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Taiwanese Game or Taiwan is a breed of large game chicken originating in the island of Taiwan. It is among the largest of chicken breeds, and may exceed 10 kg in body weight.[7] It shows some similarity to large Japanese Shamo birds[8] and, although it does not originate in Japan, may also be known as the Taiwanese Shamo.[9]: 311 [2] Large game chickens of this type but of indeterminate breed may sometimes be marketed as "Taiwan" or – in the United States – as "Saipan", "Saipan Jungle Fowl" or "Chinese Shamo".[9]: 311 [10]: 295
