Chicken Meating

During World War II, the U.S
Rationed meat, so chicken became
Popular for their eggs - good guess!
Post war the chicken found new fame.
Chicken of Tomorrow contest
Sponsored by the U.S.D.A.
To breed a chicken that was best
In a sumptuous meat type way.
And the contest was a big hit.
Meatier chickens came about
For consumption to do their bit
For finger licking good - no doubt!

Chickens still produce eggs of course,
But for their meat, they are a force.
