Question

I hear McDonald chickens are bred different to other chickens? Is it true?

Answer 1

You should read Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser...you'll learn way more about McDonald's than you ever wanted to know..

Answer 2

I know that chickens bred for McDonalds (and for the majority of consumption in the US) are bred to have more body mass... so that their legs can't support their weight and break. I also know that a lot of places debeak (slice off the birds' beaks with a white-hot wire) while they are still alive. Not sure how unique that is to McDonald's though. =)

Answer 3

i heard the same story too...

Answer 4

I read the book "Chew on This", and according to it, McDonald's feeds their chickens formulated hormones to increase breast growth (since they're all about the white meat now...). It's pretty disgusting, not to mention cruel. You should see what happens in the slaughterhouses.

Answer 5

It may be true but I am not sure.

Answer 6
