Perdue Says Half Its Chickens Now Raised Without Any Antibiotics At All

Almost a year ago, Perdue — one of the biggest names in chicken —announced its hatcheries would cease using antibiotics that were medically important to human beings, and today the company said that it has reached a milestone in the move to curb the dangerous overuse of these vital drugs, claiming that more than half of its birds are now being raised without the use of any sort of antibiotics at all.

So, they only give the antibiotics to the other half of the chicken. What a concept!

How bout shooting the eggs up before the chick is born? That going on?

12:45, What you describe has to do with "eggs", not "chickens".

Learn Doublespeak.
