Because raising them in large numbers ends up being cheaper if you use mass production techniques of minimizing costs.

Basic economics, I suppose. If you aren't selling eggs and chickens, all you have are expenditures. Plus, what you feed them can have a lot to do with it, as well. But since you aren't Tyson, for example, you aren't going to be buying in bulk. You'll have to pay full price for everything you need to start up and maintain the birds. +5

You don't want to know how they're raised that cheap. That's the other thing you're paying.
