Roosters don't lay eggs, and somebody did the math and figured out the return on hens vs roosters is so much better it's not even worth raising the roosters.

  Roosters are raised for meat - just a different breed from those raised to lay eggs.

    Not what I heard. I am led to believe the males are essentially shredded alive. http://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/2016/06/13/us-egg-producers-to-eliminate-routine-killing-male-chicks-by-2020.html http://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/2016/06/13/us-egg-producer...

      resturant by me sells broiler chicken, guess what that means?

      That's what Falling3 said. One species of rooster is shredded alive immediately after hatching. The other species of rooster is raised so it can be cooked and eaten.

  Has anyone done the math recently or is it industry dogma?

  Capon is tasty though.
