Native breeds named in this brand's cross: Tsushima Jidori （All 38 native breeds）
The prefecture's “males reach about 3.3 kg at around 90 days, females about 2.8 kg at around 130 days” describes growth; the condition is the council's “at least 90 days”. The council gives density as a range (“5–8/m² or fewer”) without saying which applies at what age or sex. Housing method, feed and rearing area are not stated. The “Tsushima Jidori” described by the prefecture's agricultural research center (Red Cornish sire × Tsushima Jidori dam) is a different bird with a different cross.
