Current Fact:

Broilers are chickens raised specifically for meat production. Modern commercial broilers, for example, Cornish crosses or Cornish-Rocks, are specially bred for large scale, efficient meat production and grow much faster than egg laying hens or traditional dual purpose breeds. They are noted for having very fast growth rates, a high feed conversion ratio, and low levels of activity. Broilers often reach a harvest weight of 4-5 pounds dressed in only five weeks,although more slow growing free-range and organic strains reach slaughter weight at 12-16 weeks of age.
