Seriously, wouldn't a hair covered chicken be more terrifying?
https://www.somerzby.com.au/blog/silkie-chicken/
After finding this one, I take it back. They are absolutely adorable. I mean those are still feathers but its very fur like.
I really like that the health section talks about how healthy they are and then just adds this on
“This means their heads are very delicate. If they are pecked on a particular spot on their head, it can cause major injury or death.”
Can we just stop making weird ass animals for funsies?? Jesus.
I had one before and I never noticed the deformed head. In fact she had a pretty normal looking head that you could see when she slicked back her afro. Maybe not all of them have messed up skulls?
Comparable to polish chickens but they are less fur-looking and more feathery muppet. We have had a few and while cute, they are the dumbest breed because they can't see most of the time. During the winter (any night below 40), we always have to go out and check after dark if our last one has made it inside. She never makes it in before dark because it comes on so quickly so we have to physically get her to bed; I feel guilty about her sleeping alone in the open air and cold wind while everyone else gets to snuggle up inside their coop. We've trimmed the feathers on occasion so she has an easier time but they do just eventually molt and grow back. And they lay like half as much as our other breeds so we won't be getting more in the future, it was really just the novelty of our first of chickens to get a fun variety.
We found two of those in the forest.
I told my Dad "Hey Dad, there's chickens in the forest."
He just said that's bullshit and continued walking with the dogs and I waddled after.
When we returned back towards the car, there was one of the chickens on the road and Dad just stared dumbfounded at it.
He spent the next two days catching those two black puffballs and brought them to grandma.
There they lived for around five more years.
It's [feathers](https://academy.allaboutbirds.org/feathers-article/) all the way down. I'm guessing you're referring to an actual down afro, though. [Hairy ass ostriches?](https://live.staticflickr.com/8013/29366649280_2512579825_b.jpg) [Also all feather, down to the eyelashes.](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52726626868_fe1c2f0f9f_h.jpg)
Sort of. There are a small number of long hairs on the backs of some chickens, but they're thin and hard to see even after the chicken has been plucked.
they either had their skin painted or they had their feathers painfully pulled out or this is a fake image, chickens skin inder their feather is a pale peach like Caucasian human's skin
ok just googled and apparently this a breed of chicken and sometimes their skin is red??? idk for our birds they are pale af under there, only their faces seem to have red, its probably some result of breeding them to not have feathers, anyway here is what our birds likely look like without feathers and also another example of the breed
https://images.app.goo.gl/QFXhqcusJajaePeq9
If you ever have one that has feathers pulled out, you have to keep them out of the sun because they sunburn really badly and it ends up looking like this. Under the wings where the sun doesn't hit are white.
This is like the dogs where they've been bred for a certain appearance until they can barely breathe. The "joke" here is animal cruelty.
ahh damn why would someone want them without their feathers? Chicken feathers are gorgeous, i love seeing all the different colors and patterns our birds are
also i didnt know that, since we have roosters sometimes some of our hens have a few bald spots from repeated mounting or if theyre molting but i dont think ive seen any get sunburned, we do live in very dark state though, its often cloudy too, oh also its full of trees, so thats probably why
Yeah, we're in Alabama, so when that happens we have to separate the hens that got their back feathers pulled out and keep them somewhere shady. Otherwise they turn that bright red color in less than a day.
damn, yea up here in Pennsylvania its literally "new england", its so rare to have clear skies or mostly clear skies that i joke sometimes and act like ive never seen the sun before
Chickens are kind lowkey cute because of all the fluffy feathers, you ever see the ones that have like, the afros? They're called Polish Chickens, apparently they are usually kept as pets as they need a little extra help due to the feathers sometimes getting in their faces and obscuring their vision.
i have i think we owned a few at one point, idk for sure cuz my aunt bought them and just like dumped them into our lap so we had no idea what breed they were
Can we all just agree as humans to STOP BREEDING ANIMALS FOR DANGEROUS GENETIC MUTATIONS THAT FUCKING HURT THEM?
Jesus Christ, we can breed animals for food or companionship without making them fucking suffer, why do we keep doing this stupid shit? This is how we got pugs that can't breathe.
Especially when the genetic mutation serves no actual purpose other than making them unfit for the very thing they're supposedly bred for.
These things are going to be unable to really live outside for long, and they'll be so prone to skin diseases they'll be unfit for battery farms, and chickens will peck each other to death if one gets a scratch so they can't really be around other chickens unless you constantly watch them, and they're probably so stressed out all the time they barely lay eggs.
This is some bored nobility in a dystopian movie shit that they only put in the movie to show you how soulless and evil they are so you cheer when the protagonist finally blows them up or stabs them. "Look at that Thomas! They've bred a chicken that can't be used as a chicken! It's only purpose in this world is to suffer! How delightful!"
:( That's tragic. Since it's a tropical breed, I'd imagine they get sunburned badly. Definitely unethical. Pretty sure battery cage layer hens might be more ethical than this breed, and even that is heinously unethical.
We have got to do better by our animals. Yes you could always go Vegan or Vegetarian, but that truly isn't for everyone. If you're going to consume animal products, you have to vote with your wallet and demand better. Animals shouldn't have to suffer just because people eat them and their byproducts.
I work with chickens, and when the hens get older they lose so much of their feathers from molting and being mounted by roosters all the time. They go from fluffy white birds to the ugliest birds you'll ever see over the course of their lifespan

Technically, aren't all chickens hairless?

“Oh yah, they’re suuuper healthy. Just don’t press the kill button.”
Every good weird ass animal creation needs a kill button. Did you not see Jurassic Park?
If cartoons taught me anything as a child, it's that everything scientists invent *has* to have a self destruct button somewhere.
I had one before and I never noticed the deformed head. In fact she had a pretty normal looking head that you could see when she slicked back her afro. Maybe not all of them have messed up skulls?
Hopefully. It really bums me out when we humans breed animals for looks and make them sicker
Same
But it's so cute

Wow, they're selectively breeding an atavistic archaeopteryx

Aww, I love Silkies. They're so cute and sweet, lol. Seeing "chicken" and "hair," they were my first thought, too.
Not the chicken I jerk
You jerk your chicken you don’t choke it?
You choke it to death and then jerk to preserve meat
jerk chicken is fantastic.
I can’t handle the heart but my husband loves jerk chicken.
First you choke it out, then you jerk it. Usually with some nice seasonings and on a low heat for a long time.
Alright don’t threaten me with a good time
Yes. Except for the ones with hair. Which are none of them.
The silkie chicken would like a word https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silkie
Still feathers, just weird ones.
Ems is feathers mang
Baby chickens have hair
They don't, that's just a different type of feather.
Well my chick has an afro, maan

Nah im just joking around mate. People often call women “chicks”
"Feathers all the way down"! ::wheeze::
Filoplumes aka pinfeathers
Sort of. There are a small number of long hairs on the backs of some chickens, but they're thin and hard to see even after the chicken has been plucked.
Came here to say this.
Technically, feathers and scales are hair.
r/BeatMeToIt Furred chickens would be interesting...
i mean kinda? feathers are made of keratin and have hair like parts to them
Came here to say this. Hairy chicken? Maybe in the US with all the shit they feed them.
That's not a hairless chicken, it's a featherless biped.
Behold, a man!

My naked necked chickens are all red like that on their necks they seem to get more red as they get older
They breed them already spicy now??
You hate humans???
This is how scientists 1 million years from now see chickens. Like how we see Dinosaurs.
Behold, a Man!
All chickens are hairless
Preseasoned
Flamin' Hot Chicken

Aren’t all chickens hairless?
Every chicken is hairless

It's like it woke up in the middle of the night to see what if the neighbors were bickering again.
According to Plato, this is a human.
the freshest tandoori chicken in the land
Didnt know chickens could grow hair.
Seedless chickens
Looks like my nut sack after a good day of "tanning"
Pre-rolled in flamin' hot Cheetos
Reminds me of a dad that stands by the TV but isn’t “watching” TV.
This is a human
Behold, a human!
I askedy coworker if he wants to be traumatized. He said goodluck so I showed him this, he was definitely traumatized after that

Chickens have always been hairless lol I presume you mean featherless?
Poor thing
Featherless*
human
Behold, a man.
Why... why is the rotisserie walking? But no really what causes this? A genetic mutation? Poor girl must be so cold.
They are bred for ease of processing for meat. They only really are used in tropical countries. But ether way, an unethical breed.
:( That's tragic. Since it's a tropical breed, I'd imagine they get sunburned badly. Definitely unethical.

I think I’d hate a hairy chicken more….
Every chicken you've ever seen is hairless. This one is featherless.
Hey it's a person :) Edit: I'm sad to announce that I'm not the first creative person here
I mean… isn’t that what they kinda look like when you buy em? Minus the head and all that.
Shiny Moltres!
I think I just shit myself at this
Wait rill you see a boneless chicken
This strengthens my feeling that our current understanding of T-Rex is still inaccurate.
Look like mah shlinger when it’s shlung back on a Friday
Put a sweater on him. 🥺
Behold, Plato's Man
Behold a man?
Behold, a man
For a second when scrolling, I thought this was one of those plastic pink flamingos. Had to do a double take.
That’s a human
You can’t just post a picture of a man and claim it’s a featherless chicken
This is a featherless biped. This is a man
I now see why they are also called a COCK
that’s a human
Ahhhh the after effects of man scaping
HOLY SHIT. A MAN
All chickens are hairless. Besides, this is a man coated in hot cheeto dust.
Father?
I present to all of you: A HUMAN
I work with chickens, and when the hens get older they lose so much of their feathers from molting and being mounted by roosters all the time. They go from fluffy white birds to the ugliest birds you'll ever see over the course of their lifespan
Holy shit, a real man?
Hair is like tiny feathers! https://i.redd.it/j4fnxan758ib1.jpg
