99.99999+% of male chickens are put down in their first couple months of life - either as unwanted chicks (or autosexing breeds), as intentional meat birds, or as unwanted cockerel. Any time you keep a mean rooster, you're doing it directly at the expense of a better rooster.
And any time you allow a mean rooster to breed, you're passing on this trait, and putting people who buy eggs/chicks/birds from you in danger. There's just no reason for it.
I agree. Chickens often have the worst life. I think that BYC helps people give them a better one. If you have never seen a chicken battery or egg factory it is possibly the saddest thing you can do to a living thing. I love my animals too. Mine are pets and I spend time with them and care about them. Even people who raise chickens for meat give them a better life than they would have otherwise.I hope you all come back as mean roo's in your next life. I agree with Lacey. What is so wrong with humans that they can't love their animals enough to not kill them? I had mean Roos when I was a child and I have one now but I just warn the kids and the really bratty kids I just watch with a smile through the window. It's pretty comical actually. Chickens are the most abused animal on the planet. The disrespect for their life drives me nuts. Since joining this forum I have been very surprised at the lack of true chicken lovers like me on here. I LOVE my animals. I accept them. I don't kill them and eat them. I get so sick of people thinkin it's funny to talk about killing their chickens with such indifference and humor. Just because people have been doing it forever doesn't mean we have to keep doing it. Chickens are easy to abuse. They procreate so quickly and effortlessly. The give more than they take and we in return as humans abuse that everyday. Chickens give us eggs and fertilizer and fluffy little bodies to snuggle. We really don't need to eat so many of them. Just because they come by easily doesn't mean they don't deserve mkrw respect and reverence.

Some of us use humor or indifference to distance ourselves from the sadness. Chickens do deserve our respect and reverence. Roosters breed new chicks so the qualities you want in your chickens also come from them. I seriously do not want to lose an eye, so I wouldn't breed a mean Roo, I probably wouldn't kill him, but he wouldn't be able to pass his mean nature on to a new generation.
