Pilgrim's Pride spread its tail feathers to do a barnyard strut. As the US's #1 chicken processor, Pilgrim's operations entail breeding, hatching, raising, processing, distributing, and marketing of chicken and turkey. Prepared poultry products are sold under the Pilgrim's Pride, Pierce, Easy-Entree, Wing Dings, and Wing Zings labels to restaurants and grocery stores. The company sells fresh whole and cut-up poultry under the Pilgrim's Pride and Country Pride names; it also produces table eggs (Pilgrim's Pride, EggsPlus) and other egg products, as well as animal feed and ingredients. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2008; it expects to emerge in December 2009.
