Yeah, have your laughs, I know it makes me a redneck, but I'm one of the few here who can clean and cut a chicken, so there.
Anyway, we had a lot of chickens, in fact for years we never went to Safeway, or places like that. I'll agree that every once in a while they would get into scraps, but a well taken care of flock will never have a dead chicken in general population long enough for the others to have a snack. In fact, well fed flocks would rarely fight, as there was nothing to fight about.
Plus the taste was above and beyond mass produced fowl. Both meat, and eggs, I miss those days.

Nothing beats eggs that are fresh from the chicken! still warm when you're cracking it into the pan. It's awesome how yellow the yolk is compared to the eggs you get from supermarkets. And i agree, the chickens i've raised would almost never fight, because they had enough room and food where they wouldn't have to "argue" over it. The only dead chickens we would get is from hawks or coyotes getting into the coops.
