They are characterized by uniformity in some major mutational exterior traits, such as beard and muffs, shank-feathering, vulture hocks, and rose comb. The aim of the study was to compare some of the main morphological and morphometric features of the Ispenc and Southwestern Bulgarian dzhinka breeds. The study was performed on 15 roosters and 25 hens of each breed. Ispenc had a significantly higher live body weight, respectively by 19.65% in roosters and by 17.11% in hens, compared to the Southwestern Bulgarian dzhinka (p
