Feel sorry for chickens? Stop eating them. They'd appreciate that a bit more than the faux concern usually shown by meat eaters...who still want them dead & on their plate!!

Amazing price. However, I find it concerning they can sell chickens this cheep.

Seriously though, is there any welfare standards for chicken at these prices? Poor little chickens.

well I wouldn't mind if it was £5 for 5 chooks in chooking Middlesbrough or somewhere similarly deprived like Liverpool or Sheffield - they need their cheap protein I guess - but not Birmingham/ Wolverhampton where there are plenty jobs.

I highly doubt any chicken costing £3 will have had a better life than these poor chickens. They're probably from the same place! You need to spend more than three quid to get a quality free range chicken.

Spending your £3 would make your conscience feel better but not the chicken (OK...I know it's dead...I mean before it died!).

As for the deal, it's no doubt a loss leader to get mass advertising and footfall into the store - and bearing in mind the deal is listed here, it's a pretty successful promo!

As for whether it's a deal, well, I've got to say yes. I personally don't want to buy it, but I have no doubt that on the rare occasions when I get a chicken korma or chicken sweet & sour takeaway they're using cheap chickens so I can't be too high and mighty about it.

I don't know this retailer but is this not a loss leader to get people through the door?
This is clearly not the usual price after all.

Perhaps they are making a loss and they are normally sold for £3 each?

Was in dudley store yesterday, noticed this advertised.
No stock available to purchase :disappointed:

I've just ordered a chicken from amazon and an egg from ebay, I'll let you know...

Cant wait to see your surprise when you eventually find out that it was a horse not chicken...

Reminds me of a Frankie Boyle comment...during a recession people don't care if the first light the chicken sees is the one at the back of the oven...

It's chooking disgusting :disappointed:

I think it's foul!

I love chickens yum

Are these chickens live or dead? With no link to go by, I haven't a clue.

As above - this vile slaughterhouse society needs to end. A sorry state of affairs. Imagine the conditions these poor animals were raised in to end up being sold for a quid. The only conceivable way to hot vote these, is to have low ethical standards.

I'd rather they were sold for £3 and had a slightly better life.

I agree. In this case it is 5 chickens for a fiver. :smiley:

What the hell is going on....ludicrous!..........and not just from an animal welfare viewpoint...sometimes it really is true that you get what you pay for.

Disgraceful - those chickens effectively were killed for no good reason
