I always thought that getting heritage breeds of chickens and turkeys was silly ("My chickens came from the Mayflower..."), but I didn't realize that the vast majority of poultry today can't even procreate because they've been bred to be too big and overbalanced to live longer than adolescence (if that). I always kind of imagined even factory farmed animals to be basically the same as the ones I grew up, but they're actually genetically distinct. And kind of disgusting. Poor things. It’s weird.
