Interesting random facts.

No matter how large or small it is, the commerical chicken you buy in the supermarket was 44 days old when it was butchered. The chicken companies manipulate how fast the chickens grow by the amount of feed and "daylight" that the chickens receive, but they are always 44 days old when they're butchered.

The turkey you buy in the supermarket for your Thanksgiving dinner may have been butchered as early as April. The farmers cannot grow, and the processing plants cannot process, enough turkeys in a shorter amount of time for hundreds of millions of people to consume in one day.
