Chicken and Turkey


Question:

Is it written in the Torah that chickens and turkeys are kosher?



AskTheRabbi.org answered:

Not specifically. The Torah lists some of the non-Kosher birds and gives the signs for Kosher birds but it does not list the names of the Kosher birds. In any case, chickens and turkeys are kosher, even though not mentioned specifically in the Written Torah.
