I'm curious to see how close we can get it. I imagine it'll be like eggs or wine where you have people swear they can tell the difference in quality, but few actually can. The fact that we can have something like the Impossible Burger (essentially a very intense veggie burger) implies to me that even in the very early stages of this we can get remarkably close.

So of course those female chickens came from a hatchery somewhere. The girl chickens go down one conveyor to a life of egg laying ( be it someone's back yard or a free range farm or a battery farm) and the boy chickens down another to be ground up alive as they are perceived to have no value. Chickens left with their eggs, fertilised or unfertilised, will lay approximately 12 eggs a year. Chickens whose eggs are removed for human consumption will lay about 200+ eggs a year. This depletes the chicken immensely. And of course once they stop laying their value is zero and they are culled.

You have obviously never rubbed the belly of a 700lb pig and heard it's pleasure!

They grind up the wings from boy chickens too?

I used a dry rub, smoked it and the result was quite a pleasure to eat.

Horses have vastly higher value as pets/companions/working animals than cows (which are stupid and dangerous and expensive to feed and keep penned), but still were sent to slaughter in the millions once they had no value with mechanization.

Without the beef or dairy industry, the cattle die-off curve would be steeper than for horses (who have recovered to 9 million in the US according to the article above).

You heard it here first, folks: humans aren't animals.
