Have you heard about the Weird Naked Chicken breed
Naked Chicken was developed to be featherless so it can stand the excessive heat. The chicken was developed in Hebrew University Israel by Avigdor Cahaneress to have a far less sensitive chicken to high temperature.
The naked chicken in mass production is thought to reduce a lot of processes, including the use of water to pluck the feather. The crossbreed of stewing chicken and featherless fowls received a lot of criticisms from animal rights groups as well as a number of scientists.
Not surprisingly, there are many people objecting the use of this breed, reasoning that featherless chickens suffer more than normal ones (already) do. For instance, they are more susceptible to parasites, mosquito bites and sunburns. On the other hand, the scientists behind this weird breed, rebut by mentioning all the advantages naked chickens have over the normal breeds.
The Advantages of the Featherless Chicken
According to the research team that developed this breed, these featherless birds pose no danger to people’s heath when consumed. More or less, they taste the same and have equal nutritional value. Furthermore, they come with certain advantages, including:
Faster growth
Their meat is lower in fat
They are energy efficient and require less food to produce the same amount of meat
They can adapt better in hot climates
The breed is more ecofriendly, as there is no need for plucking, a process that contaminates large quantities of water with feathers and fat tissues.
