Ill check around too. I have quiet a few relatives who work for chicken 
plants. The industry is really cruel to chickens but as far as I know they 
still use real chickens, albeit in fast food it's often the spare parts. I've 
had fresh farm chicken before  and the bones are very much like those in KFC 
chicken. KFC (well Tyson) does sell meatier pieces but they also use hormones 
to stimulate growth. 

Plucking is no problem either. They just scald the feathers off by dumping 
them into large vats of boiling water. After that the remaining feathers just 
slide right off. 

The real difference in industry chicken and farm (not agri-business, but a 
real familly farm) chicken is the type of meat. If you raise your own 
chickens, chances are it will have more dark meat. This is because your 
chickens gets more excercise and therefore more oxygen circulates through 
their bodies. A chicken that spends most of its life in a cage naturally has 
more white meat. 

Peace
