Yields vary dramatically: some farms produce as much as 150 pounds per acre each year while others produce little. Typical yields in Europe range between 25 and 35 pounds per acre each year, but as methods improve many more farms are achieving yields in excess of 100 pounds per acre.
With bodies taxed beyond belief, chickens who survive their time in production are often slaughtered at just 42 days old. They are still âpeepingâ the sound of baby chicks when they are killed â even though their bodies have ballooned to the size of giant adult chickens in this short time due to industry practices.
Chickens produce more than one kind of drop. When you kill a chicken it will drop 0-2 feathers and one serving of raw chicken (cooked chicken if killed with fire). Left alive, they will drop a chicken egg every 5-10 minutes. Eggs can be harvested and to spawn more chickens or used in recipes.
