How does fresh chicken become unfresh?

Bacteria is in the air and on the chicken's skin. When the chicken is alive, it produces substances that keeps the bacteria under control.

Refrigeration slows the growth of bacteria. Freezing stops the growth of bacteria. Before refrigeration, people skinned the chickens they killed the pervious day before they cooked them.
