Dong Tao chicken breed

[Three Little Bunnies]

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the Dong Tao chicken breed. Why are their legs so weird? What is their purpose? Where did they originate?

Thanks!

They are native to Vietnam. Originally raised for royalty they are meat birds. The legs are supposed to be delicious.....
