Both. Big Corporations like Tyson are getting scientists to genetically create chickens with larger breasts (for more versatile use in fast food).

Selective breeding is still the preferred way to increase quality and productivity.

How different between normal chicken and Gm chicken?

By GM, you probably mean genetically modified. That means the chicken's DNA has been modified to make it "better". A typical improvement is faster than average growth rate.

These are considered the healthiest, but are also the most expensive. The GM has nothing to do with General Motors.
