[QUOTE="brandonm_13, post: 701717, member: 7875"] "Been in" meant I have worked in chicken houses, and I've seen some of the nasty stuff they eat, the ammonia, dust, and fecal material in the air they breathe. It's not healthy to be in, whether you're a chicken or a human. That's why they have to run more antibiotics in their feed and water. Some of the antibiotics that are in the big facilities are getting into the water system and they're even finding it in fish. I can produce chicken fairly cheap and healthy. You can raise a chicken to laying age on about $5 in feed. That's 20 weeks. They only need to be raised to 8 weeks for meat processing. That's about $2 per bird in feed. Even by doubling the feed cost, you're looking at around $4 per 3-4 pound processed bird. That's not too bad. [/QUOTE]
