I respect chickens, especially when they’re sweet & sour.

[Ol' Sparky]

I salute the chicken and want to state that chickens taste great!

Oh for crying out loud..........

I’m sure the 175,000 chickens residing across the road from my house (which is not all that far from Machipongo) appreciate knowing this.........

Spirit of Allegiance, this is the funniest thing you’ve ever posted (grin).

Diana and CrappieLuck, I’m exposing you two to the world as chicken abusers. Release your chickens now, and seek salvation!!!!

Chickens have little peckers

Thank you both for the post and ping.

We’ll do our part this month for those poor chickens by eating more of them thus getting them off those dreadful farms.

It may be just as well that Colonel Sanders isn’t around to see this.

"Did you say chickens?!?

I have no idea what you're talking about, so here's a man choking his chicken.

These people could "rescue" all of the chicks that they want to simply by putting their money where their mouth is.

Many poultry producers would be glad to contract with these people if they were willing to pay, say, $6.00 per pullet.

I respect chickens! I love them! They're delicious! Seriously, I love all sorts of chickens, and I'm not a bigot in the least sense... I love dark and white meat! I love eggs, pullets, fryers, and stewers! I love them boiled, broiled, brazed, baked, stewed, and fried! Chickens are wonderful!

Plus, here in KC, the original Stroud's, managed by Mike Donnegan has reopened at a new location. The best fried chicken on the face of the earth has come back!

I will save any chicken that brings me steak.

I'm no PETA fan, but I will admit that some of their complaints are valid.

A few years ago there was a factory farm here locally who sold his property and had no use then for his thousands of young caged hens. He was going to just have them butchered for no good reason.

The local wacko rescue group stepped in and he basically said to them if you want them come and get them. The group sprung into action and put out the word - young hens to be had, charging $2 a head (so people presumably wouldn't buy them for slaughter).

Almost every single hen got adopted out. We got six of them. When the rescue got them they could barely walk and their combs were pale pale pink due to lack of sunlight, plus their beaks were cut short to prevent picking.

Now these former factory hens have normal coloring, take dirt baths with the other hens, peck about in leisure, lay their eggs, and won't be killed when they quit laying.

To me that's a rescue story with a non-wacko ending.

I think those activists are planning a coop d’etat.
