Well, friend, meat king chickens are bred specifically for their meat production, not for egg-laying. These chickens have been selectively bred to grow quickly and have large amounts of meat on their bodies. So, while they may not lay eggs as frequently as other breeds, they still bring joy and sustenance in their own unique way.

Meat king chickens, such as broiler chickens, are specifically bred for rapid growth and muscle development to maximize meat production. This selective breeding has led to a trade-off where these chickens prioritize muscle growth over egg production. Additionally, the genetics of meat king chickens have been manipulated to enhance muscle mass, which can interfere with the physiological processes involved in egg laying. Therefore, meat king chickens do not lay eggs at the same rate as egg-laying breeds.

Simple logic: Meat queen chickens lay eggs; meat king chickens lay meat queen chickens.
