Do broilers or chicken meat lay eggs?

Broilers are chickens that are raised for meat. Most meat chickens can produce eggs but not as good as layers. Meat chickens are not for laying eggs as they eat too much feed to mainatain their big bodies. Broilers are not meant to live longer they catch diseases easily but the time they reach laying stage most of them would have already diead. Buying broilers for eggs is not a good idea. The cornish rock X is not a good layer, but it can be farmed upto the laying stage, it will lay eggs once it reach a laying stage, my trick is to feed it like a layer chicken and keep it as a backyard chicken.
