39-day blog from the chicken’s point of view:
THE SHORT, UNNATURAL LIFE OF A BROILER CHICKEN
39 day blog following the life of a factory farmed chicken
ABOUT THE BLOG:
Standard meat chickens, reared in the intensive systems, are grown from newly hatched chick to oven-ready bird in just 39 days. Around 800 million chickens are slaughtered in the UK each year. It is estimated that around 90% of these chickens are reared intensively. These birds are bred to increase weight rapidly and at least 25% of them suffer from lameness and discomfort related to their excessive growth rates. Millions of broiler chickens die from heart failure in these sheds.
