And THAT is the question! Do stress-related bio chemicals in their bodies cause them to be less tasty?
I don't eat commercially raised chicken but I make damn sure that the free range chickens I buy down the street aren't stressed out at all before becoming dinner.

Birds are very intelligent; whoever coined the term 'bird brain' as an insult was an idiot. I have a wren where I live that are tiny things, probably a half ounce at most. Yet she recognizes me and knows I'm going to toss her a half kernal of non-salted peanut. If he/she is hungry she will make a racket outside my window till I go out and feed her.
As with humans the flock birds (socialists) such as sparrows are the dumbest while the solitary birds, and birds that hang out in twos, threes, and fours, are the smartest.
It would be the rare hen that ever got to see one of its chicks as the whole process is automated once the egg is laid and at 5 weeks old its off to the fryers at KFC

That's odd, I had a beautiful Cardinal run right into the side of my hardiplank house today... it sure didn't look very smart laying there dead in my yard.

Gee, and here I was wondering if mama chicken gets all upset about her eggs being taken. Does she feel pain knowing she laid an egg and it gets taken away from her immediately?
Anyone notice that at the end of the article it says to contact Joanne Fryer?
Have they studied the effects of absent fathers in chickens? Is there a statistical difference between black chickens, brown chickens, and white chickens?
Rhode Island Reds are Ok. LOL
