[Feature Request] Potion type Buffs on certain chickens (special type of Chicken Meat when killed / cooked.)

I am curious about how difficult it would be to pull off the following:

Problem Statement : Lots of chickens get wasted / raw chicken gets mulched with basically no benefit.

Opportunity: Perhaps certain breeds of chicken could have a "flag" set in their config that allows you to get some additional
use or value out of them in line with their traits ? (Fortune, Haste, Feather Fall, Fire Resistance, Night Vision, Water Breathing, etc.)

A couple of things came to mind.

1.) Having a single type of roost for all chickens is amazing, but very simple. I'd like to experiment with having chickens grouped into stages / gamestages / itemstages where Higher Tier chickens require specific high-tier breeding environment. (such as a more expensive roost, with more materials needs to make it.) Maybe only 4-5 tiers, nothing wild. Perhaps specific roosts work "ok" but are time consuming, where maybe a "powered roost" or "gilded roost" could accelerate the process ? This sounds easy enough in principle with ContentTweaks, etc. but I wanted to have the person who actually wrote the mod weigh in.

2.) My brother and I have been spit-balling over how to prioritize using the wasted chickens during breeding for something other than food, compost, etc. How feasible is it to take certain chickens (not all) and have them drop a certain kind of chicken meat as opposed to just the vanilla drop ? Let's say Redstone Chickens would drop regular raw chicken and feathers; but occasionally have a small % chance to drop a "red raw chicken" that when cooked becomes "enchanted redstone chicken filet" that gives the Player 1:00 of Haste, or something ? Again, probably simple in principle with existing Content / Craft tweaks, but wanted to see how feasible it would be to just have it as a configuration option within the Mod ? (custom meat drops 1|0)

3.) I feel like the Chicken Resource ability is amazing and of course the lifeblood of packs that don't have Mystical Ag, etc. But it would be fantastic to be able to "activate" some additional food or potion type buffs from the chickens we kill by the hundreds. Having the ability to perhaps even have combination Recipes for specific "Raw Chicken Composites" would be tantalizing !

I'm not necessarily asking you do "do this feature enhancement" this is more a user-story on what we've been thinking. I'd like to get the author's (your) opinion on how feasible it is to pull it off ?

Thank you.
