They are good chickens for egg laying and for being food wise. But when holding them you'll have to be careful, my chickie pecks me in the eye and the mouth (she even ate food out of my mouth...

Chicken feet are common in many Asian dishes and are surprisingly tasty if not somewhat bizzare.

They use in food in Western cultures has been more limited to stock and pie fillings (back in the day they put ANYTHING in pies)

But seeing a pair for sale as "excellent craft center pieces" is just plain weird.... .....

If you haven't tried chicken feet, it's not really fair to say, "Ick."

Personally, I grew up on "douchi" which is a delicacy of duck feet in black bean paste. It was served in fancy Chinese restaurants, especially during weddings, New Year's, and other festivities.

Very good!!!

Because I don't raise duck, just chicken, I make this Asian delicacy with chicken feet. Still good, but much better with duck feet, due to the extra webbing.

YUM! Makes a great appetizer............. :-)

To other countries, it is consider a delicacy. Said to be very tasty and gelagious. Even Andrew Zimmerman loved it!

they make great jerky for the dogs too...

The difference between pets and pests is only on which side of the fence they're standing... keep your animals in your own property.

My kids love the chicken feet! I need to get salt so they can set them up as decorations for halloween and what ever they want. I have thought about giving some to my dogs, but am not sure if they need to be cooked first or not!

Proud Momma of 5 wonderful children. Support from the greatest husband at my side. Kept company by a Great Dane, Mastiff and a Dane/Lab/Shepherd mix. Pest control from 2 cats, Pigs now in the freezer. Turkeys didn't make it past the Hollidays. Many breakfasts and lots of laughs and great times provided by over 30 adult LF chickens of many breeds! Now on our adventure to buy a new Farm.
