    breed them to produce fewer eggs?

    The red junglefowl from which chickens descend produces a handful of eggs yearly. it is nothing more than delusion to imagine that you could somehow make a perfectly fair solution wherein you exploit them for the tiny amount of eggs they naturally produce without it being fucked up somewhere along the line.

    Not even getting into the fact that exploiting them in that way is simply wrong on its own

      your right just destroy all coops and let the foxes and coyotes sort it out

      edit:

      In many areas, red junglefowl breed during the dry portion of the year, typically winter or spring. This is true in parts of India, Nepal, Thailand, Vietnam, and Laos.[10][16][17][26][27][28] However, year-round breeding by red junglefowl has been documented in palm-oil plantations in Malaysia[21] and also may occur elsewhere.[27] During the laying period, red junglefowl females lay an egg every day

      literally an entire season of an egg per day, prior to selective breeding

      issues from too many eggs is a result of calcium deficiency in diet which is A Solvable Problem and saying it's "impossible" to have a reasonable amount of egg production without it being "fucked up somewhere along the line" is just not rooted in reality

      I'm done, don't respond to me
