I was appalled to hear the ridiculous lies being espoused as fact on yesterday's programming. How can you expect people to believe ANYTHING your hosts and reporters say when they assert things like: "a rooster is not a chicken! It is a different animal. Only chickens are eaten."
Roosters are male chickens. We probably eat MORE rosters than hens (female chickens) since hens are often kept for laying eggs. See wikipedia (or ANY encyclopedia): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooster
or from Merriam-Webster dictionary: 1 a: an adult male domestic chicken
Please, please, please demand that your radio hosts RESEARCH THEIR FACTS before spewing this sort of junk.
Maybe you all should call some of the local poultry farms in your area that raise "chicken" you by from the grocery store. FYI they are rooster's . The Hen's are put in the hatchery, so that you can have more roosters to eat. Female chickens = hens, male chickens = rooster the things you eat from KFC, Church's, Popeye's whatever chicken resturants you all have up there. Have you ever though about it? Really if you only eat "chickens" as you say are hens then how would you keep up with the supply for eggs and meat. DUH! Obviouisly you guys did not do a google search. And maybe you need to visit our website and learn about "Chickens" www.backyardchickens.com you have made us laugh a lot today.
