I rescued a chicken that fell off a chicken truck once. He was flea-ridden and so emaciated that the vet didn't think he would make it. He so much as told me that they aren't MEANT to make it. How anyone would have got any meat off that poor creature is beyond me.
We sent him to live on the SPCA's farm, but they said he probably wouldn't live there well, because their roosters had spurs and ours was a little girlie man.
