Are those black chickens for meat or eggs in china?  I can't understand Chinese..

the skin and bones from what I understand. They have "medicinal properties" so I would think based in supply and demand, those making them and selling them for this exotic purpose would want the birds smaller? I really don't know...that's just what popped into my head.

Subscribed lol

I would think they are for meat because they are hatching out 1000s of babys and there are better egg birds. In Asia they use FM chickens for traditional medicine.
