Why Đông Tảo Chickens Are So Expensive | So Expensive
These chickens look like they came straight outta Chernobyl
Lmao chickens got elephantiasis
A thicc Rad Chicken
You are hilarious 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Yeah theynjust debuted their new album BWA (Birdies With Attitudes)
@@Classicoism 😂
Damn, I thought those chickens had a disease in the starting of the video.
Me to 😔
I thought they were gonna show how these chicken feet were gonna be cooked, but it just turns out to be cooked like any ordinary chicken feet
you are not the only one 🤣
first I thought they were corals
Same
Everyone be like "Them legs look so strong!" and I'm just thinking "That looks like tumours"
Yea, disgusting how they eat that 🤮
Me too
like most unique foods, you would have to either grow up in the area or one of those foodies to like them
Its basically elephantitus in humans but for chickens. Its like humans with trunks legs inbreeding to keep the defect.
@@iantru9929 that's disgusting... but accurate
If anyone is wondering about the taste, I had the chance to taste their meat once. Do you know about that small dark-colored inner part of the drumstick that's usually the best piece of meat from a regular chicken? Every piece of meat from these Đông Tảo chickens are like that but much much better: Extremely firm but not chewy, very aromatic with dense chicken flavor. The best part for me, would be their feet which are even more aromatic with full of crunchy textures, almost taste like a really good chicken soup in solid form. Hands-down the best chicken I've ever had in my life.
thanks bruh
Very detailed description.
@@slevinlindsay3624 Yeah that's because I hate it when people making long ass videos about some delicacies and don't even bother describing their taste. So here I am doing god's work.
Thank you. Now I need one for myself.
thank u for your review..
and how much was it cost?
Friends at the gym calling me "chicken legs" won't be the same after watching the video.

Yeah until he cuts their head off and eats their legs.
The regular domesticated chickens my grandmother's got in the village she lives, also have a rather more brown, stringier fiber-like meat that is stronger to taste, rather than the white one you find in stores. These are chickens that run around all day and peck and enjoy their lives. Most people don't realize that it does take quite a while for a chick to develop into a hen or rooster, if they feed on good food and run all day and eat vegetation in the summertime, after generations their meat changes. If you have a chick that hatched in springtime it may start to lay its first eggs (much smaller at the beginning) only next springtime and that if you are lucky as it usually takes two seasons. This is the way it should be done, but since the demand is so big, who cares if the animal is locked up in a small space and lays eggs every day literally 5-6 months after they hatched. I do not eat eggs from those chickens, because I don't feel is right. My granmda gives me a dozen a week and yeah, in late fall and winter they lay a lot less though.
In the US it's more like 6 weeks before they are butchered
I thought the same when they were talking about this meat: "sounds like a regular home cared rooster to me." Maybe they're tastier, or they can maintain these features even in more industrial-like caring, idk.
Lies again? Design Technology Olympic Medals
Wait, why were they smuggling the eggs? Is it illegal to ship eggs internationally? Or were they trying to skip out on paying import tax? Are they worried about these chickens being invasive? This video has given me way more questions than answers
Probably the crazy regulations in most countries when it comes to importing or even farming eggs all to do with salmonella etc.
Yes.
Lol right!!?! They just casually glazed over that part and I’m over here like, wait.. WHAT?! I’d watch a whole video just about that story for sure! 💯
@@brittsheff I did a few minutes of googling, I found two articles that mention the eggs being smuggled into Turkey and seized, but that story also didn’t say why they were seized. I did a general search on how to import eggs into Turkey and get this- by Turkish law you are only allowed to import “breeding materials” you can’t import chicken meat or eggs to be sold as food to protect their poultry farmers… but that’s exactly what these people were doing, they were just planning to breed the chickens. Argh!
It's all due to transfer of flu between the countries

Now I'm convinced chickens came from dinosaurs
I mean they are cuzs to the dinos
Or maybe dinosaurs came from this chicken
Birds and dinosaur are related so yeah.
They are dinosaurs.
Ancestor Dinosaurs: What has our species come to.
Little baby dragon chickens too friggin cute. I want one as a pet.
The organic meat of the chickens my grandparents raised back in the day in Eastern Europe was also significantly darker, fibrous, and tasted completely different from what you buy in the store. Any breed of chicken takes about a year and a half to two years to fully mature, if fed regular food without concentrates and other crap that makes them grow in just 3-4 months so we can consume them. Yeah, I've seen the whole process from chick to mature chicken and it's long which is why my grandmother kept young hens for eggs, the young roosters for fresh meat, and honestly, then older hens who were between 6-8 years had the best meat for soups, especially in winter.
Is pasture raised the same?
This is literally all the proof i need to know a t rex devolved into a chicken

If only 2-4% of chicks are high valued, and the rest are sold at a common price, then valuing each egg at $2000 is completely wrong. Nice job, Turkey.

I had seen pics on the net of these chickens before, usually a meme of some sort, though I had assumed that they were plagued by tumors, or something akin to lymphedema in humans. I had no idea that they were a breed all their own.

So they are like Kobe beef of chicken. Had their legs soak in warm tea, massaged and sunbathed. If that ain't Kobe beef grade of chicken, I don't know what is.
The people who discovered this species be like, "hmm... Feet."
More likely its survival food, and eating every part of the animal. Cuisine in once poor or still poor village towns tend to have food that have all sorts of the odds and ends of an animal for food. That's why many people visiting more wealthier places are often shaken and disgusted that so much food is wasted after a meal but also during food prep. It doesn't end with feet either as trotters are popular in southern cuisine, chicken wings too were once considered poor people food. Organs, skin, blood and bones are very often discarded in wealthy areas, and are hyper focused on muscle only, whereas other poorer communities, doesnt matter what culture, will utilize them, like how there's haggis, sausage, and blood pudding as some western examples.
Food is food
