i know it makes sense for standard breeds like orpingtons and wyandottes, but i really don’t see the business sense in breeding something like a japanese bantam or d’uccles for egg production? no one is buying those birds for egg volume, they’re buying them for the look or companionship. i know most hatcheries will have unshowable birds but is it true that they breed every breed for egg production? tyia
edit: i’m realizing now, is the high egg production itself a goal or just a way for them to get a lot of viable eggs from their breeding stock?
