Why Do People Buy Live Chicks From Breeders and Farm Stores‭?

It was market day today. The market sells chickens. There must have been twenty or so today for sale. I just wanted to take them all home.
They’ll get bought for the table.:hit
 
I thought this thread started about not buying hatchery and breeder chicks but to let your flock raise chicks for you in a more natural way.
I can say I've done it all as far as aquiring chicks and broody hatched and raised chicks always turn out better for me then any of the others.
Problem is I can't keep enough broodies to keep up with my chick demands.
The other problem is I have to do selective breeding so I can just let everyone run around in a huge mob and breed and hatch at will.
