Chicken

Chicken has been one of my favorite foods ever since I was a little kid. It comes in a lot of different forms, my favorite is grilled chicken, it just has so much flavor.

Domestication of the Chicken started around 2000 B.C. The red jungle fowl is the most common chicken found in the world, it’s even said to be the main ancestor of all the domesticated chickens. It was said that the first European settlers brought chickens with them, and ever since then it has been grown to what it is now a days. A great source of tasty protein.

Mrs. Wilmer Steele is said to be the first person to collect chickens for the meat and sell it. She started her business in Delaware, and she made an enormous amount of profit, which made people start the commercial chicken production, which has the hatchery. The hatchery is pretty much where all the chickens live, the next part is the incubation, which is where the chickens drop their eggs and are kept at the perfect temperature for the eggs. The next part is allowing the chickens to grow healthy as they possible can for slaughter. After about 6 weeks of growing they are sent for slaughtering, which is pretty self explanatory. They are then chilled, and then the cutting starts, and all the different types of the meat is packaged and sent out.
