The byproduct of breeding chickens to taste good as you say increased the size of the birds which in turn minimized they're ability to
fly, which was advantageous in keeping these birds from roaming to far. Edit to add: How do you explain humans ability to select for traits in domesticated birds; if natural selection and random mutation in birds is false then how is it humans can drive bird evolution artificially? If it is possible to select traits in breeding birds then it is possible for the process to take place naturally as well, IMO. If you do not believe that the TOE is valid then you are neglecting knowlege simply because it does not agree with your religious beliefs . Not because it is not an accurate model. This is what is known as being dogmatic Red Wolf.
