I found these guys and they look and sound really neat, the only question I have is are they raised for meat in that they HAVE to be butchered like meat hybrids? Or would they be able to live like a normal chicken?

Yes, I know they're bred to be eaten but still, I'd like it if you could buy them and then could just hatch out your own

No meat bird HAS to be killed. You can keep them like normal chickens.

I meant the hybrids. I'm not someone who's going to keep birds meant to be butchered and let them suffer because their too big for their bodies
