Buy Your Chicken NOW!
December 15, 2008



A friend of mine in management at a local chicken processing plant says;

Tyson Chicken Plant is concerned about the price of chicken being too low. So they are destroying 100,000 eggs a day for the next 5 days, that are due to hatch within three days. Employees of the plant asked for the company to allow the eggs to hatch and let the workers take the baby chicks home, but the managers said no, and that two other large corporations were doing the same.
I can't reveal the source for obvious reasons.
But you'd think that Tyson would give the meat to charity.

Yes, baby chick meat ~

[Jeff Chandler]

Maybe they could sell them to snake farms?

But you'd think that Tyson would give the meat to charity.

No, I wouldn't. I forget how, now, for it's been so long, but the Clintons have a tie to that operation. JB Hunt trucking, too, if they're still in business.

Pilgrims Pride just went into Bankruptcy, maybe Tyson cannot afford to raise the chickens just to give them away.

I just bought a roast chicken from Kroger. $8.
May have to start raising them myself.

[Tired of Taxes]

Why not give the chicks to other people to raise? (Assuming this story is true.)

I’m a happy vegetarian. Don’t eat meat. :)

[Red Badger]

The yolks on you!.............

[Flycatcher]

This post pushes the bounds of slander. Does your “friend” work for a competitor of Tyson?

[Red Badger]

Vegetarian: Old Indian word for “Lousy Hunter”............;^)

“But you’d think that Tyson would give the meat to charity.”

That would br stupid.

[Republic of Texas]

Because they might not buy TYSON’S chicken if they had their own. Oh, and Tyson owns the chicks and can do whatever they want with them.

[KoRn]

We are being raped by ‘Big Chicken’!

[TSgt]

Then just eat opossum. The other yellow meat!

[ScottSS]

Because that does not reduce supply. Therefore the price would not go up.
Oviously Tyson has run out of ways to increase demand at the price it wants.

This is like OPEC reducing output.

[SouthTexas]

Used to know a man that supplied chickens to Tyson. He received hatchlings, grew them, then shipped them off. He was completely independent.

[cripplecreek]

You would think they could afford it considering the cost of illegal aliens.

[thefactor]

Tyson is pro-choice!

boycott!!!

[Palladin]

I never buy Tyson’s brand.

We have excellent local chicken here in PA.

(Hey, wasn’t this same rumor on here a year ago? Urban legend?)
