Perdue, who died in 2005, was responsible not only for killing billions of chickens but for developing many of the notoriously cruel techniques now used throughout the chicken industry. Over the years, PETA has marched with Perdue's striking workers and protested his company's abuse of billions of chickens.

Our chickens are fed an all-vegetarian diet that includes grains – primarily corn and soybeans (in the form of soy meal), mixed with vitamins, minerals and amino acids to ensure a nutritionally balanced diet.

The company's now-famous slogan, “It takes a tough man to make a tender chicken®,” helped make PERDUE® a household name.

In feed, most protein comes from soybean, canola or sunflower meal, a byproduct made when these plants are processed for oil. Protein in chicken feed can also come from lupins or peas or even from animal byproducts such as bone, feather and fish meal.

According to Perdue company officials, Perdue died on March 31, 2005, after a brief illness. He was 84.

Perdue's chicken tenders barely beat Tyson with my taste testers. Like Tyson, they were crunchy with a heavy focus on breading. This was a win for my self-proclaimed “breaded meat connoisseurs” involved in the testing.

Perdue believes that when chicken is properly raised, there's nothing better. That's why we use all veggie feed, our farmers raise free-range chickens and more organic chickens than anyone else in the U.S. to make our chicken taste extraordinary.

Poisoned: The Dirty Truth About Your Food.

If you dream of becoming an eagle, you follow your dreams and not the words of a bunch of chickens. Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.

The short answer is that chicks need feed that supports healthy growth, and hens need feed that supports healthy egg laying. In their first months of life, chicks' bodies experience a lot of changes. They need a feed focused on muscle and skeletal growth.
