Oh yes. I didn't mean to take away from that.

Besides I found the thread and see my mistake now.

I was confusing the leghorn type birds used in the industry for laying eggs with meat birds. Apparently some countries use different breeds for egg laying then we do.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to argue. I was just trying to figure out the difference between what I was being told. My mistake though, not anyone elses.

It doesn't matter what breed they are, that is why we all congratulated her for saving them.

I was just curious, because I thought it was odd that she would find them at a slaughter house.

This thread illustrates the huge chasm between the Pet Chicken and the Production Chicken owners on this board.

Personally, I don't see this as a rescue since the chickens in question were destined to a productive end as a source of protein for humans or animals. This is completely different than the rescue of dogs and cats that are being abused or neglected by their owners.

NOT a rescue? What planet are you from? I agree with hooligan, as long as they were saved from death then it is a rescue... IMO :|​

Year of the rooster. The "what planet are you from?" is in an insulting context. Please refer back to the forum rules.
