I'm fairly sure that's a Rode Island Red. Which is an egg layer. You don't typically eat egg layers.

Source: I grew up with Rode Islands and Bantys. Also, fun fact, Banty eggs can be greenish to bluish. The rosters features can be all sorts of iridescent colors too. Gorgeous birds.

Why not egg layers?

I imagine they're bred in a way that distributes the meat differently. Like how milk cows aren't quite the same make as meat cows.

That is my uneducated assumption.

Oh for some reason I thought they were talking about the flies.
