[QUOTE="simme, post: 1842174, member: 40418"] Explanation of my post. Chicken breeder company - Develops the genetics for the chicken companies. Examples - Ross, Hubbard Cobb, etc. They care about phenotype and meat quality and other characteristics. Chicken company - the companies that own the chickens, delivers them to the growers, supplies feed, catches chickens, processes them and sells meat to distributers. They run the show. Examples - Tyson and Pilgrams, etc Chicken grower - the guy that owns the houses, cares for them for 7 weeks, smells bad and is glad to see them go. He is at the bottom level. Sort of like the cow/calf guy, but don't own the chickens and don't have any say in genetics. My point was - chicken growers don't care about phenotype. His concern is how big his check is for his contribution and how much his expenses are. He has no emotional attachment to the chickens. Different than cattle. [/QUOTE]
