Naked hens appeared in Israel

This wonderful race of hens has been bred in agricultural faculty of Jewish University in Rehoveta. The greatest merit of the new hens is their nakedness, because this kind of poultry should not be plumed which is very profitable for poultry producers. Moreover, the new breed of hens more easily bears hot weather and they have less fat than usual hens. The leader of the project, professor Avigdor Kahaner supposes that usual hens cannot fully realize their potential of growth in Israeli hot climate, because they suffer from heat. Therefore, the new breed seems to have one more plus – a big weight. Though, some time will be necessary for mass introduction of the project.
