  • The Sanjak Longcrower, locally known as the ‘Rogaš’, is a rare and fascinating chicken breed that originated in Sanjak — a region nestled at the intersection of Serbia, Bosnia, and Kosovo. Historically, it was considered a colored variety of the Kosova Longcrower due to their close relation, but the Sanjak Longcrower is a distinct and long-lived dual-purpose breed with dwindling numbers due to changing regional demographics and needs. This breed has been depicted in paintings from the Ottoman Empire and is classified as a landrace breed. It’s worth noting that there are over 15 types of “Longcrower” chickens, most of which are not found in the US.

  • While the Sanjak Longcrower’s history is somewhat shrouded in mystery, it’s clear that they’re descendants of the Bosnian Crower, which is also an ancestor of the Bergischer Crower and Kosovar Crower. These breeds were brought from the Balkans to the Bergisches Land in the Middle Ages. The Sanjak Longcrower has several names due to its multi-ethnic and trans-national origins, including rogas, bosnjak, boshnjak, pulat boshnjake, kengetar bosnjake, and pulat dukagjinit. This breed is rich in tradition, culture, and history, making it a valuable addition to any flock.

  • We recommend starting baby chicks out with Sugar Feather Farm chick starter for the first 3 weeks, then switching to our Chicken Grower. Use the Grower Feed until they hit maturation (which is when they start to lay) then switch to Sugar Feather Farm Adult Feed.

    We highly recommend using the Oil of Oregano in their water daily as a supplement to aid with digestion and overall health.
