You may be crushing a chicken bone while reading this.🍗😊. Do you know if the chicken meat you’re eating is from a broiler or layer?
Let’s find out. Both types of chickens are typically reared for their meat, while layers are reared for egg production before being sold off as meat.
Broilers are usually softer in texture after cooking, while layers are a bit tougher and take a longer time to cook.
Most broilers are white (not always though), while layers are brown.
Both types of meat are tasty depending on your preference. Can you tell the difference between broilers and layers?
