This is incredible. I should have been a chicken farmer.
Key Consumption Facts
• Daily Total: Roughly 22 million to 24 million chickens are slaughtered and consumed daily across the United States.
• Annual Total: The U.S. processes and consumes around 8 billion to 9.5 billion chickens every year.
• Per Capita: On an individual level, the average American eats about 69 to 98 pounds of boneless chicken meat per year (or roughly 23 to 91 whole chickens annually depending on the metric).
• Market Share: Chicken has surpassed both beef and pork to become the most-consumed meat in the United States, according to the USDA Economic Research Service.

All the shitty chicken finger joints have got to get their supplies from somewhere. They alone rack up the numbers.

As Dave Chappelle once said, "I am genetically predisposed to liking chicken."
Most weeks, I consume chicken 5-6 days per week. I'm doing my part.

What an accomplishment, not just for the US, but for mankind. A once formidable predator during the Jurassic era reduced to chicken tendies after millions of years of evolution.

It's been estimated that Americans waste approximately one-third of their groceries.
That's 7M chickens per day, too stupid to know they're dead.

chickens definitely drew the short straw when it comes to being our primary source of protein. Somebody had to take one for the team

If you drive up I-59 around Laurel, MS, you will see all the trucks pulling the trailers loaded with chickens going to the Sanderson Farms processing plant. I've always been curious as to how many they can load onto each trailer.

At $4.099/lb in October, that's between $283-$402 per person x 349,782,191 people = $98,988,360,053 - $140,612,440,782 a year

Saddest part of that is that only about 5% of US chicken farmers are independent now...all the rest are corporate owned or contracted to corporations. Doubt it is very lucrative for the individual any more.

I had chicken for lunch. Could have been me.

We probably throw out 10 million pounds of chicken a day

Applies to a lot of farming now. Its a problem. Its prohibitively expensive to get into now in any serious capacity.
