The method that worked best for people that is. It has been pretty damn horrible for chickens. From the comment:
> Indeed, for some strange reason, the individual breeding programs which had been so successful at increasing egg production now required hens to have their beaks clipped, or be housed in individual cages, or they would peck each other to death.
That doesn't sound like "better for chickens" at all. If I were a chicken I'd take open breeding any day.
- FakeComments 8y agoThe thing you quoted isn’t related to what I called the better method, but rather the one I compared to monarchy/central planning — a poor idea. The one I called a better method was the top cohort selection, not individual selection.
- aylmao 8y agoOh gotcha, misunderstood your comment.
