I don't think too many factory broiler chicken
farms are places that you'd end up in, many don't even let people in, however according
to ... soilassociation.org.uk/web/sa: A link I accessed last night but cannot access today quote: *The study by CWF found that broiler chickens are force fed so they grow faster,
live in extremely cramped conditions and lack any exercise*According to my phone call to find out local
broiler chicken feeding methods 4/5 use force feeding.According to P.E.T.A magazine December 1995 (mine)
Farm rescued chickens had to be re-taught how to eat because they had become accustomed only to forced feeding.
