§ 24656 Fowl Processing Standards

• •New York dressed fowl is a chicken or bird with feathers and blood removed.
• •It must be sold whole, with the head, feet, and insides still in it.
• •This is a specific way to prepare and sell birds in New York.

You go to a market and see a whole chicken for sale with its head and feet still attached, but no feathers.

This chicken is called 'New York dressed fowl' because it follows the rules: no feathers, no blood, but everything else is still there.
