Perdue

Westover, Maryland - March 20, 2017: Two of Perdue's conventional chickens take turns at a feed line. The top-heavy factory-farm-grown-chickens mostly eat and sit. Their weight makes perching and walking difficult. These chickens, however, have slow growth chickens as neighbors at Perdue's Westover Test Farm. The test farm hatches, houses, and studies the differences between slow growth chickens and their conventional chickens. Perdue is exploring more humane ways of raising and slaughtering chickens.
