That is a Dong Tao.

 

[TheOddOneOut]

Dong Tao, yes, nice-looking, no.
They are the unholy horrors of the chicken world.

Agreeing that that dinosaur is a dong tao.

See, and even my Naked Neck's look better than that one!

 

[BigBlueHen53]

WOW! It is a real, live chicken? I thought it was something somebody's grandmother crocheted!

He looks like Godzilla! when I saw him my first thought was "that is a very sick chicken that needs to be taken to the vet immediately!" But then I saw that everyone was super chill about it so I calmed down but looked it up just to make sure lol.

 

[The Happster]

Yup, Dong Tao.
Now we don't see them on BYC very often...

@JadeFarms, it was you that was interested in this breed, correct?

Yep! They're quite alarming. I believe that they're bred that way on purpose for meat?

Yeah, I think that their feet are some sort of vietnamese delicacy... Personally I don't think that would very good, I'm not sure I'd be able to eat chicken feet
