During WWII, the Shmoo was the perfect chicken.

Ya gotta love American ingenuity

There goes my enjoyment of buffalo wings and ranch dressing!!!

Why couldn't they raise chickens with like 6 wings?!

i think the wing make up a chicken if they dont have wing then there not a bird.....birds have wings so whats the point the way i see it all there good for would be to feed the preditors.... dont you think?

Well, since they are domesticated, and well, we are predators, I think 99% of chickens in this world exist to feed predators!

The wings are the YUMMIEST part of the chicken! Plus I think the chickens like having wings.

I'm just catching up on this thread, and I gotta stick up for schmoos. They were NOT from the Flintstones, but rather from Li'l Abner. And I DON'T think wingless chickens are the perfect schmoos. Obviously, bantam araucanas are. Just look at my avatar, and you'll see.

You think the wingless chickens are wild, check out the comb on this La Fleche.

(why are these URL's so long???)

Anyway...it's interesting how many chicken related photos are in Life Magazine's archives. I'm finding all sorts of interesting things.
