> Of course a cow should be more work to raise than a chicken. But it has so many times more meat on it than a chicken, and is more energy efficient per calorie consumed too.

Wikipedia says quite the opposite:

"Two kilograms of grain must be fed to poultry to produce 1 kg of weight gain, much less than that required for pork or beef."

Is the ratio of edible-calories-to-body-weight roughly the same chickens and cows?
