What kind of chickens do people raise to eat.

Like the mass produced KFC and the like chickens are "cornish x" or "broiler" chickens that grow so fast they can't stand because their muscles grow faster than their skeletons, and by the time they're butchered they are just sitting and not moving like a super obese fat person.

I know they're all kinds of "ornamental" breeds that have pretty feathers and colors and you don't really want to kill and eat those, right?

So what kind do you raise for killing and eating?

Jainism, traditionally known as Jain dharma, is an ancient Indian religion that prescribes the path of ahiṃsā (non-violence) towards all living beings. Jains believe that a human being who has conquered all inner passions comes to possess omniscience; such a person is called a Jina (conqueror). The path practiced and preached by Jinas is Jainism, and the followers of the path are called Jains. Jain philosophy distinguishes the soul (consciousnesses) from the body (matter). Jains believe that all living beings are really soul, intrinsically perfect and immortal. Souls in transmigration (that is, still undergoing repeated births and deaths) are said to be imprisoned in the body. Ahiṃsā (non-violence) and self-control are said to be the means to liberation. The liberated souls free from saṃsāra (transmigration) are worshiped as God. Ahiṃsā (non-violence) and Anekantavada (non-absolutism or multiplicity of viewpoints) are the major teachings of Jainism.

According to the 2001 Indian census, Jains have the highest degree of literacy of any religious community in India (94.1 percent), and their manuscript libraries are the oldest in the country. Namokar Mantra is the most respected prayer in Jainism and major festivals include Paryushana, Mahavir Jayanti and Diwali.

The principle of ahiṃsā (non-violence or non-injury) is the most fundamental and well-known aspect of Jainism. The everyday implementation of the principle of non-violence is more comprehensive than in other religions and is the hallmark for Jain identity. Jains believe in avoiding harm to others through thoughts (mana), speech (vāchana), and actions (kāya). According to the Jain text, Purushartha Siddhyupaya, "killing any living being out of passions is hiṃsā (injury) and abstaining from such act is ahiṃsā (non-injury)". Jain texts expound that there are ten vitalities or life-principles: the five senses, energy, respiration, life-duration, the organ of speech, and the mind. The table below summarises the vitalities that living beings possess in accordance with their senses.

code:

Senses 	        Number of vitalities 	   Vitalities
One sense 	Four 	                   Sense organ of touch, strength of body or energy, respiration, and life-duration.
Two sense 	Six 	                   The sense of taste and the organ of speech in addition to the former four.
Three sense 	Seven 	                   The sense of smell in addition to the former six.
Four sense 	Eight 	                   The sense of sight in addition to the former seven.
Five-sensed     Nine 	                   The sense of hearing in addition to the former eight.
beings 	        Ten 	                   Mind in addition to the above-mentioned nine vitalities.

Therefore, Jains extend the practice of nonviolence not only towards other humans but towards all living beings. For this reason, vegetarianism is a hallmark of Jain identity, with the majority of Jains practicing lacto vegetarianism. If there is violence against animals during the production of dairy products, veganism is encouraged.

After humans and animals, insects are the next living being offered protection in Jain practice, with avoidance of intentional harm to insects emphasized. For example, insects in the home are often escorted out instead of killed. Jainism teaches that intentional harm and the absence of compassion make an action more violent. According to the Jain text, Sarvārthasiddhi, "He who has passions causes injury to himself by himself. Whether injury is then caused to other living beings or not, it is immaterial."

After nonviolence towards humans, animals and insects, Jains make efforts not to injure plants any more than necessary. Although they admit that plants must be destroyed for the sake of food, they accept such violence only as much as it is indispensable for human survival. Strict Jains, including monastics, do not eat root vegetables such as potatoes, onions and garlic because tiny organisms are injured when the plant is pulled up and because a bulb or tuber's ability to sprout is seen as characteristic of a living being.

Jainism has a very elaborate framework on types of life and includes life-forms that may be invisible. Jains believe that the intent and emotions behind an act of violence are more important than the action itself. For example, if a person kills another living being out of carelessness and then later regrets the act, the bondage (bandha) of karma is less compared to when a person kills the same kind of living being with anger, revenge, etc. A soldier acting in self-defense is a different type of violence from someone killing another person out of hatred or revenge. Violence or war in self-defense may be justified, but this must only be used as a last resort after peaceful measures have been thoroughly exhausted.
