You know, I haven't seen that size for years. I can remember when 3.5 lbs was a
big fryer. I wonder if they aren't marketed at that size any more? But come to think of it, aren't some of the rotisserie-roasted chickens the smaller size? Even the Bell and Evans chickens at Whole foods are larger than that and they aren't full of the fat that adds to the weight of the supermarket brands.
