Micro broilers are fully proportioned adult chickens no larger than a house mouse, developed over fifteen years by breeders in rural counties of the American Southwest.[1, 2]
Development
The breeding record describes parasitic nanophages as engineered viral agents introduced during the first thirty-six hours of incubation to rewrite growth regulation. This terminology differs from the microscopic-machine description used elsewhere in the archive; both belong to their originating records.
Trade and variants
Healthy birds sell for $40,000–$90,000, exceeding gold by weight. Two-headed and crystal-feathered variants command more. Buyers include collectors and people storing wealth outside banks. Intermediaries shield buyers, breeders avoid on-record interviews, and participating veterinarians operate under nondisclosure agreements. The account describes an absence of a fitting USDA classification and little regulatory intervention.
