Commercially grown chickens can be called free range chickens. Mass- grown chickens are still kept in confinement, they are just allowed to "free range" inside their buildings.
From hatch-date to your dinner table, commercial and industrialized chicken “meat” breeds are only 5-7 weeks old. They are genetically altered and designed to grow an average weight of 1.0lb each week, when fed corn and soy.
Commercially processed poultry is washed with heavily chlorinated water and bathed in an anti-microbial, solution to control the outbreak of salmonella. This is just one of the reasons why Russia and the European Union will not buy poultry products from most U.S. processors and the purchase of U.S. poultry is illegal in many countries.
As far back as the 1930's it has been known that confinement and grain, only sharply reduces the health of the chicken, resulting in health and behavioral issues.
In many industrialized poultry facilities, chickens are fed trace amounts of arsenic in their feed. This can stimulate their appetites and traces of arsenic can be found in the meat.
What are the benefits of eating free range, grass fed, heritage pastured poultry?

Studies and Research
A study published in December 2009 in the International Journal of Biological Sciences found that three varieties of Monsanto genetically-modified corn caused damage to the liver, kidneys, and other organs of rats.
One of the corn varieties was designed to tolerate broad-spectrum herbicides, (so-called 'Roundup-ready' corn), while the other two contain bacteria-derived proteins that have insecticide properties. The study made use of Monsanto's own raw data.
Quoting from the study's 'Conclusions' section: 'Our analysis highlights that the kidneys and liver as particularly important on which to focus such research as there was a clear negative impact on the function of these organs in rats consuming GM maize varieties for just 90 days.' Given the very high prevalence of corn in processed foods, this could be a real ticking time bomb. Food manufacturers are currently not being required by law to declare GMO content.

Government Independent Research
At this time the U.S.A. and the Canadian FDA, U.S.D.A. and state departments of agriculture do not conduct independent studies of the harmful effects of genetically modified foods derived from G.M. seeds. The only studies are those conducted by the G.M. patenting seed corporations and submitted as, safe to use, grow and consume.
