I suppose the chickens had to die of something.

I often wonder how many times a year these places are inspected ,by government ,or RSPCA inspectors.

I often wonder how much nutrition there is in animals like this. (another one for mikegee).

I think there is originally as much nutrition in intensively reared chickens BUT:
Many are injected with water and various salts , officially to make them more tender and tasty, but actually to increase the weight so you get less real chicken for your money.
Intensively ranged chickens undoubtably are less tasty for two reasons:
The first reason is because they are so young that they have not had the chance to develop flavour
The second reason is that their diet is very simple and bland, and does not have the "interesting" (for the birds) bugs, worms and plants.. The south sea cannibals would undoubtably have found many of today's teenagers, living on a diet of white pappy bread, hamburgers and chips, a bit tasteless compared to
the missionaries fed on roast beef, pheasant and mixed vegetables etc
