Question 291004: #3 (#23 e-text) Raising chickens in commercial chicken farms is a growing industry, as there is a shift from red meat to more white meat. New Jersey Red Chickens are a favorite chicken and the Feed is Us company has a new chicken food that they claim is excellent for increasing weight and naturally it costs more. You have heard this line before and therefore are skeptical but the potential pay off is huge. You buy a small amount and feed it to ten chickens, which you choose at random.
