They’re usually shredded alive almost immediately because they’re seen as “waste” since they don’t lay eggs

Never understood this. Why not raise the roosters for their meat and feathers and leave the hens for laying eggs?
The hens are bred for laying as much eggs as possible, on the cost of meat production. this means, that it isn’t profitable to raise them, just to get some meat, when you can raise other chicken breads to get twice the amount of meat.
I am guessing, only based on the fact that the immorally fast growing chickens only make a few more cents, that they are not profitable.
Also I am not sure if roosters can be kept together past a certain point maybe?
