Dude you have no idea what goes in to the feed
Yes I do. My major professor and I did multiple studies about feed and the effects on bone density/strength, feed convesion rate, etc in undergrad and graduate school. We raised thousands and thousands of chickens testing multiple different kinds of feeds and additives.
We made our own feed at the farm at the mill and I know what was going in it.

Tell me how a yard chicken can grow to eating size in 3 months?
Selective breeding especially over the last 50-60 years has definitely helped among other things

Chicken is a big business. From the hatchery, to the live haul, to the growers, to the live haul to the processing, it is unreal. I sell products to all ends of the process. I know the business.
I gotcha. I got my masters in poultry management and spent plenty of time in processing plants and whatnot. Im not saying the big business poultry people are doing the right thing but anyone that knows what really goes on knows the publics perception of the industry is way worse than it actually is.
fwiw i hate the business.
i did like raising my chickens though. theyre awesome animals

Hat in hand.
From what I have been told, maybe I have been mislead.
I was basing my statements on little bits of information from growers/haulers/feed mill workers(not supervisors)/processors bragging about turnaround. Over 13 years of selling to these people.
Different companies, different programs? I am not doubting what you say, but I can not discount what I have been told, either.
