I think the Production Reds would be a fine breed for your goals. If I was undertaking such an enterprise, I think I'd clip their wings when putting them out into the electronet. If you can nip the habit before it becomes ingrained, so much the better. Kind of like the way zoo keepers tether a baby elephant with a small chain around a foot. Baby can't break loose. As he grows, the same tiny chain holds him secure, because he learned as a baby that it was futile to pull against it. So, the same flimsy chain continues to hold a full grown elephant. Young birds go through many mini molts before they have their full adult plumage. You might want to talk to the hatchery, or even an Ag extension agent about a clipping schedule.
didn't even clip feathers after all, as I couldn't get any help.
