How is a full chicken so cheap?

827 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.

Short answer, animal abuse. These chickens don’t live nice lives, need to get their beaks clipped because they are kept in too small cages so they attack each other. Their legs don’t hold their massive weight so they collapse and can’t even stand up. It’s industrial meat.
