Many chickens were displayed on the table in a butcher in Yamuliao Market

The table of the butcher was filled with many chickens. Most of them were cut into pieces already. They were ready to be sold. And I saw a woman standing on the other side of the table. She wore an apron and gloves. She was just stripping down the chicken, which she sold.

Among the pieces of chicken, I found one chicken which was not cut yet. It was put on the edge of the table and its head drooped outside of the table. It was about to fall. I wondered why this chicken was displayed along with the pieces. It might be a symbol that this butcher sold fresh meat.
