Genetically Modified Featherless Chickens?

I came across this article about featherless chickens that have been genetically altered by an Israeli geneticist.  It is a short article and relates to our discussion with Professor Galusky.

"Scientists also hope the new breed will grow faster because it won’t need to use energy to grow feathers and that would also cause the chicken itself to grow larger."
