In a very small operation, the chicken is restrained (usually by sliding them upside-down into a large funnel with the small tube cut off) and the neck is cut with a very sharp knife rapidly. This should cut through both carotid arteries and both jugular veins, which results in rapid death due to exsanguination (blood loss). In large commercial operations, the animals are hung upside-down on a moving line, electrically stunned then have their throats cut to bleed them out.
Yes, ovens with broilers are still sold.
About 8 billion broilers are raised per year.
An intensively reared chicken are bred to reach slaughter weight in less than 6 weeks. About 70% of meat chickens are raised this way. These chickens are also known as commercial broilers.
If your broilers are molting, they're only good for soup.
If the chickens are Broilers (bred for the table) they will be fast growing and ready to kill atabout six to eight weeks. You will find that cockrells grow faster than poulets. Regards Chook Butcher.
