I could see the logic in that. Egg birds go for cheaper fill meat at 18 months or so, so depending on the feed costs, it might be less expensive to feed an oops rooster than to pay somone to go out and find itI had a commercial chicken farmer tell me that pastured commercial eggs might be fertile because of "oops roosters", that may be left with the flock because it's too much trouble to try to sort them out if they're not causing problems.
He's a meat bird farmer, but presumably knows something about what other commercial chicken farmers do.
No guarantees.
