History

The Chinese Long tail, also known as the China game fowl, is thought to have originated from the homeland of China. These magnificent birds were brought to the United States in the 1930's by Chinese Immigrants who were employed by the late Mr. Herman Pinnon. It was not unheard of that Mr. Pinnon also incorporated blood from these fowl into his own American Game fowl Bloodlines.
