It is notoriously hard to keep alive and is very prone to disease, so they are pumped full of drugs, not least antibiotics, for their entire lives.

The few organic ones that are out there are so expensive because the mortality rate is about 60%.

I have been told that salmonella wasn't present in UK poultry until turkeys were introduced commercially.

Its something to do with the disease resistance in turkeys, they have been so inbred and intensely reared over the years that they have been weakened.
