Real Breed or a Scam?

[Michael OShay]

If you wants them, they cost $2,200 to $2,00 a pair. (

Sorry about the typo. I meant to type "if she wants them, they cost $2,200 to $2,500 a pair." I seem to be making a lot of typos today. )

It is a genuine breed from Vietnam known as a Dong Tao or Ga Ho chicken. BYC has an entire thread on them at https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/354589/dong-tao-or-ga-ho.

Yes, but it is essentially a genetic defect as AtlantisPeeps asked. Just like dwarfism, it can be selected for in breeding and now it is a unique breedable characteristic. I agree with Michael OShay however, it looks awful (and uncomfortable).
