Paak Ngau Shek special chickens

Cross-breeding of the New Hampshire hen (middle), which had a faster growth rate, and the Wai Chow cock (left), whose flavor was more appealing, led to the Paak Ngau Shek Special. This cross-breed was very popular with farmers in the 1970s, as the breed supplied over 80% Hong Kong’s restaurants.
