Bald Neck Chicken


I recently had this email from my friend who lives in South Africa. This might be of interest to all you "farm chics" out there.  She wrote:

On a drive one day, we met friends at a coffee shop with a difference. This coffee shop was 20kilometers (about 10 miles) out on a very badly surfaced dirt road through the mountains, on a farm. The farmer's wife is a baker of note. She stocks a good variety of freshly baked cakes and scones, which she serves with thick farm cream. Most of the eggs used in the cakes come from a strange variety of chicken called the "bald neck" chicken.   The coffee was good, cakes delicious and all in all, worth the trip out.

    Yes the Poulet Rouge, turken or naked neck, a very strange looking bird but supposed to taste wonderful.

    Unusual looking bird, but of course we are not used to them. The ride sounds like it was worth the trip!

    I saw those chickens recently on the Pet Blog, I think it was...they sure look comical but as long as the eggs taste good, that's good enough for me ;-)

    It does look like a turken. They are awfully ugly in a comical sort of way.
