Silkie Chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) (4)

Silkie Chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) (4)

Several Asian cuisines consider Silkie meat a gourmet food. Chinese cuisine especially values these chickens. The flesh of Silkies is dark gray-blue.

The meat of Silkies is also used in Chinese medicine since it contains twice as much carnitine as other chicken meat [it is said that carnitine has anti-aging properties].

  1. Interessante Hühner-Serie! mit passenden Fotos!
    Bei “[it is said that carnitine has anti-aging properties]” musste ich schmunzeln – damit der Chinese älter wird, muss das Huhn sterben. Wie sagt man: Des einen Freud ist des anderen Leid. 😉
