Pricey Poultry
FRANCE - The French "poulet de Bresse'' is celebrating 50 years of being officially the most pampered chicken in France and also one of the most expensive in the world.The Queen of Chickens carries the three national colours with its red crest, white feathers and flesh and blue legs.

A Bresse chicken can fetch upwards of 35 euros ($50.86) in France and a capon even 75 euros, several times the price of an ordinary chicken that sells for some four euros in supermarkets.
