Tengchong Snow
The Tengchong Snow chicken is a Chinese local chicken name associated with Tengchong in Yunnan, with snow suggesting a pale or white color identity. It is best treated as a regional native line rather than a common international breed. The birds' significance comes from local adaptation, visible color tradition, and their place among Yunnan's diverse poultry genetic resources.
Keepers should evaluate Tengchong Snow chickens by source and flock consistency, not by white plumage alone. Good management includes dry housing, clean water, predator protection, and feed suited to age and production. Breeders should track color, fertility, growth, laying, and survival so the line remains more than a label. Since many white chickens exist, provenance from Tengchong or a documented conservation source is essential for anyone preserving the breed.
