"Through selective breeding, the featherless chicken was created as a prototype for a new chicken breed that could be faster-growing and ‘environmentally friendly,’ meaning the energy that would otherwise be lost to the feather-plucking process could be conserved."
Inbreeders are very particular about what they breed, and are very sure to select carefully. The featherless chicken was breed for the simple reason of laziness. people didn't want to find the time to pluck the feathers so they decided that it would be easier to just breed them without feathers, as well as kill them without the feathers.
