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.
