To be fair, they already kinda do that. The chickens are massive compared to normal ones we would’ve had decades ago, which can lead to some premature deaths (I think it’s heart issues?)

For some breeds if you let them live to full adulthood instead of slaughtering them at 6 weeks they can't really walk well. The extra muscle doesn't make them stronger, it just adds so much bulk they can't move it all. It's pretty sad.

Gotta get those chickens doing some cardio.
