Breed information: The entire mitochondrial D-loop sequences (1232 bp) from eight lines suggest that Bhutanese chickens are genetically diverse and originated from the Red Jungle Fowl (Nidup et al.,2005). However, genetic differentiation among Bhutanese native chicken population was small when estimated from blood groups and morphogenetic characteristcs (Yamamoto et al.,2007). Resistance or tolerance: They are relatively resistant to major poultry diseases.
