    Again you missed the point. When they breed the chicken line for good layers, not all hatch as females, so because the males are useless they toss them in the grinder. As compared to chickens bred for consumption, that lineage has larger meatier males for eating. That was the whole topic point you had trouble with in the paragraph.

    It only recently mutated to cows and humans, before it was limited to birds.

      Let’s try this logic yet again, I’ll trim the words down to simplify for you…

      “Chickens who’ve been bred to lay eggs don’t produce very high-quality meat”

      So the female chickens don’t produce high quality meat, so they kill the roosters?

        You are missing the fundamental part , when they say chickens bred to lay eggs, they don’t mean for female chieckens only, because you can’t just hatch females.

        They have a breed line of chicken (I.e. like you have dog breeds , for example a chihuahua) So males also hatch too. And if you have ever seen a hatchery assembly line, it is a conveyor belt of fluffy chicks, the staff check each chick and toss the males into a grinder. They never make it to grown rooster, because they consider it a waste of resources to raise a bird that is not rotund as an eater.

        So the original paragraph is correct, chickens bred to lay eggs, have the roosters killed. For your logic you are insisting on the sentence should have said Hens bred to lay eggs, which would then invalidate the second part.
