Featherless Chicken
Scientists in Israel are responsible for this prototype, which is a featherless chicken. They are significantly cheaper to raise, more environmentally friendly, and don't require plucking, which saves time. The scientists say they bred a species which has naked neck with a standard broiler chicken. There are, however, some drawbacks. The feathers on chickens help protect them from harsh weather, parasites, and even overzealous cocks during mating.
