Ugly little blighters aren't they

Poulet Noir

Unless you meant these which look even worse

Vietmenese Black Chicken

My chickens have white legs - but they still taste pretty good

All the best

if its the "poulet noir" you're thinking ... it looks like a "Translyvanian (or Hungarian) Naked Neck"
We ~~have~~ had one, randy little s*d so he became our first ever home raised tandoori chicken!
Ate it today, just the legs left for tomorrow.

....delicious!
and when it was hanging, the long turkey - like wattles covered its eyes so it wasnt quite so gross, and it was easier with having no neck feathers
