Reply To: Are their chickens in Humash?

DaasYochid: If we need a meshorah, then from where we need a mesorah. If we say “from Sinai” (which is the usual case for when we base something on a “mesorah”), then neither chickens nor turkeys are kosher. So it seems that “mesorah” in the case of birds does NOT mean from Sinai, but means only “a well established custom among the frum Jews”, which leaves open the question of how such a “mesorah” comes into being.
