To identify a desi murga (desi chicken), look for the following characteristics: Body Shape: Desi chickens are typically smaller and more agile, with a lean build. Feathers: They often have a mix of dark colors such as black and brown, with more vibrant, natural patterns compared to uniform-colored broilers. Shanks and Legs: Desi chickens usually have yellowish or dark shanks. Roosters often have thicker legs with visible spurs. Behavior: They are more active, alert, and prefer foraging in open spaces, unlike the more sedentary nature of broiler chickens. Comb and Wattles: Desi chickens generally have smaller combs and wattles, though this can vary slightly by breed.
