Fair enough about the title. In the video the speaker did say something more like 'every chicken breed we could get' which isn't the same thing as the title.

 

What was the nonsense about silkies? 

 

They claimed that silkies are used medicinally, which is true but overemphasised that they were given to pregnant women to improve lactation. While they are given to pregnant women, they are given to non-pregnant men, too. Every soup I've been given in a Chinese hospital (for every meal) has been silkie.

 

Also, they are not only used medicinally. They are sold in every market for making chicken stock. I buy them regularly and I've never been pregnant or lactated.

 

ETA: Also what @KennethT says. The cook them incorrectly.
