But it will hurt the chickens, whose big bodies are too large for their little legs to hold.
Chubby chickens
Judging by numbers released from the National Chicken Council, broiler chickens – chickens grown for meat – grow a lot faster than in the past. In 2000, the average bird went to market at 47 days old, weighing 5.03 pounds, and in 2023, the average chicken still goes to market at day 47, but now the chubby chickens weigh in at 6.54 pounds.
Comparing these numbers to almost one century ago, broilers took 112 days to grow to a 2.5-pound market weight in 1925.
