Perhaps it’s just me, but that chicken looks good enough to eat alive. It reminds me of those tasty Chinese-style wing things you get covered in red stuff. ---

I think it looks kinda cute - someone mentioned in another thread that it rather resembles a small dino, and they’re right 🙂 Now all it needs is raptor claws! I think this breed of chicken might be a good option for breeders in warmer climates - however, I have no fear of it supplanting all other breeds of chickens worldwide. ---

Just wait until they develop a skinless chicken. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by istara \* > \*\*What’s a bookmobile? \*\* Since no one has answered you, and I doubt they have Bookmobile’s in the UAE, I’ll tell you. A bookmobile is a ‘portable library’ that is housed in a huge van/truck. I haven’t seen them in a long time, but maybe they’re still used in some places. They came to certain spots that were not close to the library and allowed kids to get into reading by just walking down the street to the bookmobile, take a book out, and return it to the bookmoblie the next week. ---

Thanks, **jman**. I have no bookmobile. And the fox killed our chickens. ---

Does anyone else think it’s kind of convenient that this ready-plucked chicken has found its way into the BBQ Pit? ---

My first thought at seeing the picture was “Dang, that’s a lot of neck!” Of course, I have no idea how long a normal chicken’s neck length is (aside from the Far Side cartoon wherein a farmer with an axe looks over his chickens and at one with a long neck in particular). To explain the joke to **istara** , there was an episode of South Park in which the town’s chickens undergo a series of, um… molestations. Turns out it’s the freaky guy driving the bookmobile who did it. It’s a lewd, crude joke, but funny nonetheless. 😛 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Revtim \* > \*\*But this was made simply with selective breeding and cross-breeding… \*\* Well, [_pluck me_,](http://www.rocpoint.com/01episode_Guide/season2/203.htm) I did not pick up on that - When the guy was identified as a geneticist, I didn’t imagine a fella who spends the day encouraging chickens to have sex. ---

istara, I’m with you. Chickens are great. Even nekkid ones. ---

Urm, I didn’t mean that the way it sounded, by the way. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/geneticist-pitches-naked-chicken/110234.md?page=1)
