I think I’d agree we want to reverse the selective breeding. However I’ve seen backyard chickens that seem really happy, curious, and have a huge area to walk around in with a big variety of food, and in return lay an egg every 24-36 hours. It’s hard for me to say raising chickens like that is immoral, but I could be wrong.
I can’t comment on how egg laying affects their mood/daily experience, but it seems laying for healthy hens should only very rarely be painful https://peteducate.com/does-it-hurt-a-chicken-to-lay-an-egg/

It’s already getting pretty stretched, so why not just have a delicious vegan meal instead?
