At the commercial level they don't put on weight like hens so less profit. And even with Cornish cross needing to be processed at exactly 8 weeks old their roosterness makes humanely raising them cost prohibitive.
Free range chickens means that they are in a giant building with thousands of others. Very different from pasture raised which actually get to go outside, see sunlight and eat bugs. But pasture raised there is an increased risk of bird flu. And the current strain of bird flu is nearly 100% lethal in birds. So that's a huge insurance risk.
It's all money. Every single consideration comes down to profit.
Thanks. So "caged" - can barely move around. "Free range" - can move within a giant, filthy enclosure. "Pasture" they can go outside and do stuff.
I think it was the "pasture" angle I was thinking of. As in, in some cases they're labelled such as more of a technicality than anything else, but are only let out during limited hours, to a limited "outside" space that might be of no real interest to them. For profit.
Searching my bookmarks, I think it was probably the Craig Watts thread I was referencing. I'll give that a re-read in coming days.
The one that gets me the most is "vegetarian fed chickens." Which translates to "Never went outside and caught a bug." Chickens love bugs.
