The chicken gets its name – Bigawi – from the people of southern Egypt who are known for their trade in the animals. It is a rustic breed, with silvery white feathers on its head, which gradually turn blue or black in patches until becoming completely dark on the legs and tail. The chickens have gray beaks, dark brown eyes and a red crest. The males have longer, whiter necks than the females, whose are grayer in color.

An ancient caravan stop for the date trade, the great Siwa oasis is located in the desert area of northwestern Egypt, a few kilometers from the border with Libya, and is known for its Pharaonic-era remains, embroidery production, and agriculture. Lying in a deep depression, the oasis consists of thirteen villages, whose inhabitants belong to ten Berber tribes. Irrigation is brackish and suitable only for tolerant crops: dates (the most important) olives, mint, and carcade. The three most important local cultivars are siwi, frehi, and azzawi. The time of ripening is different: amnzou fruits in September, siwi and azzawi in early October, ghazaal in late October, and taktakt in December-January.
