vegans and vegetarians ARE aware that the domestic breeds of chicken used for egg-laying (and meat, for that matter.) have been selectively bred and cross-bred for several thousands of years until we've created the ultimate egg-laying chickens.... RIGHT?? like, some breeds are so meticulously and carefully bred that their genetics are guarded secrets. there are whole ass genetic companies whose only purpose is chicken breeding. cause it has come to my attention that some of you don't understand a fucking thing about domestic chickens, including but not limited to how egg-laying works.

like, the poultry industry is vile, yes, we can all agree with that. i'd probably say it's amongst the worst of our livestock industries. but uh. if you want to campaign against it i'd highly suggest you first know what the hell you're even talking about or else you'll be seen as a dumbass ignorant idiot screaming for attention rather than someone who has an intelligent point to debate and discuss.

and perhaps. just maybe. a wee little suggestion here. just a tip that may prove helpful. is not to confuse chickens for cows.

is there any practical good reason not to get leghorns for layers?

i remember the argument was always "but they're no good for eating!" like yeah, and? culls from breeding the next generation are so infrequent and I breed rabbits for meat anyway, not chickens. and I don't want to pay an extra $hundred for a chicken dinner I won't even find very appetizing when it comes time to cull old hens. "they're so flighty and they fly!" it's literally a fully enclosed coop what is the problem there there's nowhere for them to fly to
