Meet the Chickens

The average lifespan for wild chickens is fifteen years. Chickens raised for egg production are slaughtered at an average age of five years.  Chickens raised for meat, referred to a “boilers” by the industry, are killed just 42 days after hatching, as they have been selectively bred and genetically altered to reach slaughter weight quickly.
