They are talking about the breed, not the sex. So they hatch 10 chicks some will be male and they aren’t good meat chickens (male) but they keep the layers (female)
If they’re bred to lay eggs, it’s all about the sex of the chicken.
Might as well say we can do away with 95% of men on the planet because women can continue the human race via sperm banks.
I’m not exactly against anything you folks are saying, I just think about things in a different way. Like, why do they call it ‘bird’ flu, when cows and humans can get it too?
How many species of birds are out there now? Are we supposed to ‘cull’ the infected crows, pigeons, seagulls, cows, humans, etc?..
If birds are the main disease vectors, then any pigeon that shits on your car can get you infected.
So what makes chickens the main point of concern? Hell, chickens can hardly even fly far, I’d almost be willing to bet the pigeons and crows are spreading the flu way more…
If you don’t see chickens as sentient, why would you feed and house 100 roosters you can’t sell when 1 would do the job required to continue the egg-laying population?
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.
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.
“Chickens who’ve been bred to lay eggs don’t produce very high-quality meat, so the male chickens of these breeds have little value to poultry producers.”
So what does that mean? The female chickens get the flu, so let’s kill the roosters?
Once again, the logic doesn’t add up. So if your mom gets a deadly disease, let’s just off your dad…?
It don’t see anything wrong with that paragraph. Anything to attack the author by accusing them of being ai.
Again, chickens bred to lay eggs are not male.

Aggressively obtuse

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.

Til that leghorns reproduce asexually.

Let’s try this logic again…
“Chickens who’ve been bred to lay eggs don’t produce very high-quality meat, so the male chickens of these breeds have little value to poultry producers.”
So what does that mean? The female chickens get the flu, so let’s kill the roosters?
Once again, the logic doesn’t add up. So if your mom gets a deadly disease, let’s just off your dad…?
They’re talking about those breeds of chickens that are “layers” (vs. “broilers”)
It still makes about as much sense as saying ‘Your mom got the bird flu, so we’re gonna cull your dad’…
Speaking of, birds aren’t the only ones that get the bird flu, we don’t go around ‘culling’ humans…
Well, I hope we don’t anyways.
