Your question is very vague. Broiler chickens are meat chickens or birds that are raised for slaughter around 10 weeks of age. There are many, MANY breeds of broilers from commercial hybrids that personally I find anyone who condones raising cruel and inhumane and then there are TRUE meat birds who produce the finest quality of meat and can be heritage or mixed breeds. The most common is the Cornish crosses or Cornish Rock.

Alot of times these chicks will die from heart attacks. This is because they grow too fast for their heart. Broiler chickens dont have a long lifespan. They only live for a few weeks (if they are not slaughtered they are lucky to live past a year.) Eventually their legs give out because they can no longer support all of the weight.
