Conventionally-raised chickens are routinely fed low dosages of antibiotics and arsenic. Look for the USDA Certified Organic seal when choosing chicken for dinner.
Head to the farmer's market for local eggs and chickens raised on grain and without antibiotics. Farm fresh eggs not only taste better, they use less fuel to get to your plate.
Avoid unnecessary antibiotics in your meat. Conventional livestock is routinely dosed with antibiotics, leading increased drug-resistant bacteria. Infections that are resistant to antibiotics are difficult to treat, in livestock and humans.

I have also heard that some chicken producers are using nanochemistry to add flavor enhancers to chicken fat on the small cellular level. They are not required to label packages, so consumers will never know. These nanoparticles have not been tested on humans.
