1. They are caught and crated in the rearing sheds and taked by truck (very much still alive!) to the slaughter/processing factory.
2. Most chicken production today around the world is done by large companies with departments covering each stage in the process: breeding stock farms, hatcheries, rearing stock farms, slaughter/processing factory.
3. At the factory they are taken out of the crates and hung by their legs/feet on steel frames hanging from a moving conveyor chain.
4. This passes through an electrocution machine (there are several designs) which 'stuns' them, so they unconcious for the next stage:
5. Their necks are cut (a really depressing job for someone), and the conveyor passes through the 'bleeding tunnel', and then on to plucking machines to remove their feathers, then evisceration machines, - and so on down the line to the packaging stage.
6. Developed countries (US, European countries, etc.) all have agriculture/food government department inspectors to ensure all is run as it should be. OK, there are occasional news reports of abuse - some of the guys who work in these places do so because they can't get better jobs - but its generally not as bad as some people imagine.
