What Exactly Are Broiler Chickens?

The term “broiler” is used to describe a chicken raised for meat, not eggs. Broiler chicks hatch from fertilized eggs produced on what are known as broiler breeder farms. The eggs we eat are completely different, are unfertilized, and come from hens specifically raised to lay eggs.

Broiler chickens are raised in large, well-ventilated barns where they are free to roam. To learn more about the life of a chicken, check out this page which is all about how chickens are raised.
