No. Broiler chicks are meant to be served on the table at 7-10 weeks of age. You can try to keep them, but it never works out.
- First the breasts are so large that the chick can literally suffocate itself as the breast tissue grows (this happens in commercial turkeys as well).
- Second, the bird's temperature continues to increase as the muscles grow, and they burn themselves out.
- Third, the upper body is very heavy and the legs will break down due to the weight.
- Fourth, the pullet will never live long enough to produce eggs.
Laying hens tend to be long and lean. The hens used for meat and egg production are still not near as meaty as a broiler. Those bred for boiler production are terminal crosses, meaning that they will die prior to the age of maturity.

Male chicks are often culled after hatching in the egg industry because they do not lay eggs and are not suitable for meat production due to their slower growth rate compared to specialized broiler chickens.

Alternatives to culling, such as sexing techniques before hatching or using them for alternative purposes, are being explored by some farms.
