Because the conditions that the chickens are raised in promote growth of salmonella to such a degree that they need to chlorinate the outside and scrub & wash away the cuticle. The production model for chickens is so harsh that they can’t keep themselves clean or care for themselves. And the chemical companies profit off the model so there is no incentive to make chickens happier or healthier.
