I don't know, how do they do it? You can buy whole frozen chickens at Wal-Mart for div>
You should watch Food Inc., it gives a brief look into how a $5.00 chicken is possible. Alot of corn subsidy and minimum wage labour make it work.
We raise our own meat birds outside on grass and the difference is quite noticable. The increased flavour, muscle texture, colour of the meat and fat, make it worthwhile. Check out a local farmers market or the internet for someone raising grassfed chicken near you, it won't be $5 a chicken (maybe $5/lb) but it tastes alot better and is better for you.
