Featherless Chickens! Just had to post this pic!

I think they are neat. Whether genetically altered or not, it proves one thing. God does have a sense of humor. I bet they aren't any different from Adam and Eve when they were walking in the Garden of Eden naked. They probably don't know they are naked either until someone mean points it out to them. Then they will have to wear feather pillows.....

just thinking would the coast to raise these chickens be more then an average chicken. Depending on climate you will have to have heater for them. You will have to build special encloses to protect from the elements by the time you spend all that money on everything to keep these bird healthy you should have went out and bought a nice chicken plucker.

Cmon folks. A few of you are taking this way to seriously. They are many naked
animals on this planet. I believe us humans are refered to as the naked ape.

Personally I look at a naked neck and say yuck. Some love them.

As it was said these are selectively bred, not genetically engineered. Every domesticated
animal is existance has been selectively bred to some extreme or another. Like it or not
most people have selective breeding somewhere in their ancestry.

Now I'm off to breed a featherless silkie with teeth.

Cheers

Yep they breed hairless dogs,cats,rats, and mice. Why not featherless chickens.

That would be a valid question posed towards someone who believed it was right to breed those other hairless animals.

I don't.
