History

The Yakido derives from the Shamo group of fighting chicken breeds, which are thought to descend from birds of Malay type brought from Thailand in the early part of the seventeenth century, during the Edo period.[7]:13 The Yakido was bred in Mie Prefecture, in Kansai region in southern Honshu, in the mid-nineteenth century, in the late Edo period.[8]:321[9]:105 It was made a Natural Monument of Japan under law 214 of 30 May 1950.[6]

Characteristics

The Yakido is a small bird of gamecock type. It is muscular and strong, and stands very upright. It has hard, close feathers, and holds its wings close to the body.[8]:321 It is found in only one colour, black.[4] The beak and legs are yellow, sometimes with black markings. The comb is triple.[8]:321

The Yakido is intermediate in weight between standard-sized and bantam chickens. In the United Kingdom, but not in Germany, it is considered a bantam.[8]:321[2]

Use

The Yakido was created as a sparring-partner for larger fighting-cocks.[8]:321 Hens lay about 80 cream-coloured or brown eggs per year; egg weight is about 50 g.[2]

gollark: Look at that. How can you call that nice syntax?
gollark: Go is horrible!
gollark: I asked on the FTB subreddit where I could get a recipe dump. This time I mentioned CC.```Some random person: You can do file I/O from text without issue.Someone probably wrote a CSV API.Once you define the format all you have to do is edit the file in the CC directory.Me: I can't actually find anything which will output the recipes in any format.SRP: You will have to create, essentially, you're own API to do that using the file I/O as your basis.```They win the Missing the Point award!
