It was called "very pretty" which was derived from the "polka dot", because the chicken is covered with black dots. It is not only very decorative, but also a great alamanou breed, low maintenance and disease resistant. But in the 20th century the breed was almost lost in Russia. The efforts of breeders around the world Pavlovskaya chicken is preserved, while at home, in Pavlov, it was not found.

Alexander Mishukov is one of the enthusiasts and breeders seeking to revive the ancient Russian breed the birds.

"Paul Golden chicken I was looking for long a long period of failure, - says Alexander. Only sell under the guise of this breed. But, in the end, everything turned out, and today I have a real live Golden pavlovskie chickens. Well, real: it is believed that the Pavlovskaja hen is "in progress", i.e. not fully recovered. It's not quite the chickens, which are bred by our ancestors, but very close to them."

Alexander Mishukov said that the most beautiful chickens, as a rule, bad rush and their meat is not as tasty. In his opinion, the real Pavlovskaya chicken should combine both the beauty and economic benefits. "Our ancestors did not keep the stupid bird, - says Alexander. The hen needs to lay eggs and be edible, and not just to decorate the yard."

By the way, according to the poultry, meat and eggs Pavlovskaya Golden chicken absolutely non-allergenic. In addition, meat Pavlovskaya chicken is used for the treatment of tuberculosis. To this end, they contain in India. Still, its main distinguishing feature is a beauty.

The main goal of Alexander Mishukov today is not only to revive in Pavlov local breed of chicken, but to declare it. He tries not to miss any important events in the world poultry industry, regularly visits exhibitions. "The plan is to export their chickens to the exhibition in Moscow. It is in our time is not easy: a lot of prohibitions and requirements. Preparing chicken for the exhibition starts for the year and involves many stages," said Alexander.

But the main thing has already been done. Last year, Alexander founded the club of the Pavlovsk breed of hens "Pavlovskaya Khoroshki".

Once in the village of Pavlovo regularly held exhibitions of birds. Alexander Mishukov is working to revive this tradition.
