A couple of years back, I found a few articles about a mutant rooster hatched on a family farm. Everything about him was chicken-normal except for one thing: he's BALD. Uglier than one of those bald cats (breed is called Sphynx or Canadian Sphynx)! Beak is normal, legs are normal, not even feather follicles in his skin. I'm wondering if the meat industry bought him yet--think of the money they'd save for executive bonuses if they didn't have to pluck chickens raised for food!

That said, the lack of feathers gave him an expression strongly reminiscent of a shoebill stork. The shoebill is one of those birds that makes me say "THAT is where dinosaurs went." http://artisanlane.com/wp/the-cartoo...king-shoebill/ DO NOT search "shoebill eating" unless you're prepared to see one eat a LIVE DUCK. Whole. "Cartoonish" my (unladylike word here).
