How is a full chicken so cheap?

626 views

I know economies of scale and battery farms and stuff but I can’t reasonably work out how you can hatch, raise, feed, kill prepare and ship a chicken and have it end up in a supermarket as a whole chicken for €4. Let alone the farmers and the supermarkets share. Someone please explain.

My dog got sick on Christmas ..2-3 years ago I can’t remember. But I had to find a dog ER on Christmas Day and drive around. Had to pay $500 for them to tel me she had an allergic reaction to something she ate and give her AiC fluids for a few hours. Was Covid too so I couldn’t even go in with her and she was terrified.

Anyways, they suggested I feed her chicken and rice as a solve all for two weeks. I did.

I realized it was cheaper to buy her the shit grade value packs of bone in chicken and white rice then dog food. Seriously. So now I just cook a big pack at once then cut a bunch up in morning, toss in white ride and green beans and microwave it so the chicken smell attaches to the rice or whatever so she eats it all.

Easy. And she’s obviously more happy with it. Costs ~$20 a week. Green beans and rice may as well be free..
