The explanation behind this is actually pretty disturbing. Due to selective breeding ~~the growth hormones we feed chickens~~ in America, the chickens become fully grown much earlier than usual. It's like the equivalent of becoming a fully grown adult by the time you are the age of five, but you still have the mental and muscle capacity of a five year old.

What's disturbing about it?
If you watch Super Size Me 2, they go into a lot more detail on why the selective breeding is so disturbing.
Amoung other things, the birds are bred for meat muscle development, their cardiovascular systems have not been equally enhanced and as a result, chicken farmers know that the birds are big enough for slaughter because some of them will just start dropping dead of heart failure.
Piggybacking on this comment, but i never realized until I started keeping chickens that meat birds get so disproportionately huge that you can't allow them to roost / have to have a ramp out of their coop. If they jump, they'll blow out their legs when they land and just...die. They're literally bred to be incompatible with life, as no one really needs them to live long anyway.
