1. Choosing high-quality chicken
When purchasing chicken, it is important to consider the following factors: Look for healthy chickens with a fresh red comb, straight legs, smooth and scale-free skin, and thick breasts. Avoid buying chickens that are too old or too young, as the meat may not be of good quality. It is advisable to choose chickens that are about to lay eggs.

Fresh chickens have yellow skin, soft feathers, small pores, and large necks and thighs with small legs. On the other hand, old hens have hard, scaly legs, untidy feathers that are not soft and shiny, large pores, small and gray necks, and often have more spurs. Old roosters have long spurs.
2. Choosing high-quality duck
When selecting duck, opt for fat ones with round breasts, thick skin on the neck and belly, and enough feathers. It is advisable not to purchase young ducks as their meat tends to be smelly and it takes longer to pluck their feathers.

Ducklings have larger and softer beaks, while old ducks have smaller and harder beaks. Unlike chickens, male ducks have tastier meat compared to female ducks.
3. Choosing high-quality pigeon
Pigeons are known to be more nutritious and valuable compared to chickens or ducks, making them relatively expensive. There are various delicious dishes that can be prepared using pigeons, with the most popular being pigeon porridge, simmered pigeons with vermicelli, or pigeon sticky rice.

For the best taste in these dishes, it is recommended to use freshly butchered pigeons. These pigeons should be about 15 days old with tender, thick, and fatty meat, containing the most nutrients. To identify freshly butchered pigeons, look for ones that are only the size of your fist, with sparse down feathers, and slightly thicker feathers on the wings and back.
If you prefer making roasted pigeons, select slightly older pigeons with fully grown wings, as their meat will be firmer and more suitable for roasting.
