The Chicken of Tomorrow is a 1948 documentary short film about advances in chicken farming. It was sponsored by Texaco (known at the time as The Texas Company).
Techniques of poultry and egg farming in the mid-1940s are demonstrated, with attention to how genetic engineering and technology produce larger chickens. Eggs are farmed and kept in industrial incubators, and an equal number of chickens are used for meat and other products. Altogether, this produces more food for less money and allows people to support local poultry farms without large financial expenditure.
