Wow, I had no idea! Thanks for explaining. What causes them to grow so
fast?
If they grow so quickly, and die so easily, how are they bred? Do they
mature/start laying earlier or still at the same rate as laying birds? Is
meat breeding stock raised differently than those that will be butchered?
What other steps do you take to slow down their growth?
Interesting!

It is removed for meat birds because they will eat themselves to death. They
grow so fast as it is that it causes leg problems and lameness resulting
often in death. Their fast growth also causes heart problems like heart
attacks. So slowing down the eating a little bit or giving them a larger
area to move around and
