Popular Post webfact Posted June 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2023 Unique laughing chickens in Trang are gaining popularity among farmers who are speedily breeding the novel birds for sale, creating an extra source of income. With a sound that resembles human laughter, the amusing birds are brightening people’s days and attracting eager customers. It was reported today that Kritiwit Eiadnun, also known as Goong Kuanhan, a 50 year old hospital worker and owner of the Pa Saun Kwang farm in Muang district, decided to breed the so-called “laughing chickens.” The birds are said to have a special vocalisation, starting with the usual chicken crow, followed by a distinct shimmying giggle reminiscent of human laughter. This unique sound, which tends to make people smile and even join in the laughter, is what caught Eiadnun’s attention. The birds themselves are aesthetically pleasing with long, colourful feathers. Eiadnun bought the chickens when they were just one month old at 500 baht per pair. Now, they are approaching one year old, feeding on regular chicken feed, as well as a herbal mix including fa talai jone, turmeric, bergamot peel, fresh chillies, and other herbs to prevent diseases and boost their immune systems. by Nattapong Westwood Photo courtesy of KhaoSod.

jvs Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 We had them here 15 years ago already,sold a lot of them all over Thailand. Then people just got bored with them and we gave out last few away. They are very nice to have and some people just could not believe it when they started laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
