bald chicken


'
Scientists have bred a controversial
featherless chicken which they say is
faster growing.'BBC news

Experts say it will not need plucking
and will be able to stay cool in very
hot countries...
It is also claimed that removing feathers
will cut down on pollution caused by the
plucking process.

'animal welfare groups warned that feathers
were important to help protect the birds
from parasites - and that the featherless
chickens were likely to suffer sunburn.
In addition, male chickens might not be
able to mate, they argued.' BBC news
