Where are all the chickens?
Discussion
On Tuesday i took advantage of a fantastic deal in KFC.
9 pieces of finger lickin for £5.99. No chips, no beans, no slaw just chicken. It was lovely.
The place was heaving! Admittedly it was Earls Court Road in London but it got me thinking, that one shop has to get through a 1000 chickens a day.
Multiply that by the number of KFC's and all the other fast food joints that sell chicken, the numbers bought in supermarkets etc and I'm coming up with some crazy figures for how many chickens we consume as a nation each week.
I know i could google the answer but the point I'm making is WHERE ARE ALL THESE CHICKENS?
Is there a part of the UK where only chickens exist/ are they all shipped in for our consumption?
I'm being a bit tongue in cheek I know but there is a serious side to my question.
Gotta be a hell of a lot of chickens out there.

It's only possible because everyone keeps schtumm and goes lalala about how these birds are farmed. It doesn't take much research to find out.
Aldi sell free range chicken for £5-6. That's hardly expensive, and no more than a factory farmed bird cost a few years ago.
I like eating meat, but I'd like it produced with a modicum of decency. I'd rather pay a bit more for better meat and eat a bit less of it, and avoid KFC etc altogether.

t and dead friends for a month or so before being killed. Don't eat it if you consider yourself a humane person.
