No, meat chickens are a totally different species from laying chickens. About as different as chihuahuas and dobermans. They're mutants, really. Congenitally obese and die of heart attacks if you don't eat them.

They arent different species, but different breeds. Same with dogs, all domesticated dogs are the same species. But my point was mainly that laying hens take much longer to raise than, meat chickens.
