My goals seem to be more in line with yours than those of most of the people criticizing you; perhaps you'll also find one of my concerns more apt:
The chickens which are flourishing do not all remain the same chickens. As soon as farmers can more-cheaply harvest chicken from something like Chicken Little, most of them will. Even in the meantime, if you care about the existence of chickens who can do things like living a full lifespan without their legs or hearts failing, you're going to have to hope that there's always enough other people like you to support a niche market of 200%-more-expensive chicken.
You could just genetically modify chickens to die younger, so that is their full lifespan. Unless you mean that you want them to live as long as possible, in which case you should start with an animal with a longer lifespan.
