They're Usually Shredded Alive Rule :(

They're usually shredded alive almost immediately because they're seen as "waste" since they don't lay eggs
For some more context:
Because we like big chicken breasts and we cannot lie.
(Male chickens of egg-laying breeds don't have as much meat, and also the males left together often compete and can try to kill each other. You'd want around a dozen hens per rooster, compared to roughly 1:1 that would come out naturally with eggs, and have enough space for each to call their own).
