A broiler is a special breed of chickne bred specifically for meat. Some breeeds of broilers can be harvested at ages 6-8 weeks, depending on the gender.
Broiler chickens are chickens that are bred just for meat. They are bred to grow really fast. Alot of times these chicks will die from heart attacks. This is because they grow too fast for their heart. Broiler chickens dont have a long lifespan. They only live for a few weeks (if they are not slaughtered they are lucky to live past a year.) Eventually their legs give out because they can no longer support all of the weight.

Broiler chicken are hybrid chickens used only for meat. They live for about 1,5 months (on large farms usually), and their only purpose is to eat and grow. When they are big enough they are slaughtered and sent to the local market. Since that is industrial production, their meat is hardly as good as the one of a chicken raised the old fashion way.
