I don't know, but I once talked to a woman who worked in a chicken plant and she said if he I ever saw what went on there I would never eat chicken again. And I do know the history of the abuse of workers until we got unions in the early 1900s. That is a cruel and horrible history for anybody who wants to research it.

The chickens are hung by their feet on a moving line. They are killed by workers called "killers", de-feathered (mostly by machines, but some individual feather plucking is required), and sent farther down the line where various internal parts such as intestines are removed. My Mom worked at a poultry plant 1957 to early 1980's. She said that the intestines and other parts that humans don't eat became mink food. Things may be different from my Mom's day. She often complained about the plant's managers speeding the line up.
