  It has much less feather than normal chicken.
  
  The purpose is to test whether one particular gene is critical for chicken to grow feather. I get rid of that gene by injecting some chemical into the egg. As a result, the chicken doesn’t have as much feather as its siblings. Other than that, it is quite normal.
