. Some baby chicks, while still alive, are chopped up with rotating blades in maceration machines and others are gassed with carbon dioxide.
A wave of new technologies aims to end the killing by figuring out the sex of the chicken before it hatches. Concern over the fate of male chicks is growing in some western countries, with governments in Germany and elsewhere taking steps to end or limit the practice. Some retailers are trying to get ahead of the issue, pushing their suppliers to introduce technology that allows for sex sorting in the egg.
“We sort of do an abortion,” says Wouter Bruins, managing director of In Ovo BV, the Dutch company behind the sexing device used at Het Anker BV, the Netherlands hatchery. The machine’s early version can sex roughly 40,000 eggs a week, and a more efficient iteration in testing can sex five times as many eggs, Mr. Bruins says. The hatchery, the company’s first client, began using the machine for commercial production in November.
Go vegan people!😓
I've seen baby chicks peck each other bloody. They are tiny dinosuars. I've seen month old chicks find and kill small field mice.
And that is why I don't eat chicken nuggets !!!
Joey was way ahead of his time.
They will live forever?
My fat ass thought this was a bowl of Mac and cheese
Eliminating this one aspect of commercial chicken/egg farming does nothing to eliminate the inherent immorality of needlessly exploiting & killing these beings in the 1st place. Hens will still be genetically altered monstrosities killed when their egg production falls. Go vegan.
Murderers!
Seems to me like you've met Doug and his 8 other brothers
Give one or two chicks to families for Christmas, Thanksgiving, or Easter. Crate them and ship them to Haiti.
This ruthless merchant economics...stinks to bloody baby chick rivers! :)))
I'm not able to read unless I'm a member of the wsj. Why birth chicks jusy to kill them? Who's eating these chicks? Nasty. I'd rather eat grass.
Due to the cat kings saying it's there time and its not fair. As well with illusion of schools to mask more up. Then go fuck there own. Akaß outer hafe. Of the last one.
You think I wanted to fight if I have to.. But the complaints that I got into. Showed me a little more then most politicals wanted to piss with. So they used the police to scramble shit all over the globe. Or as that inter webs. Of waves to fuck everything up so the Democrat2
“The male chicks are useless to hatcheries..they don’t lay eggs and don’t gain weight as quickly...Some (male) baby chicks, while still alive, are chopped up with rotating blades in maceration machines”—as a human being, this is unacceptable.
cchukudebelu Does nature even produce that many chics? Factory farming does that. The life that hens in factory farming have, I think dying is a better option for these miserable creatures born of human greed...
Chicken wings?
な、なんと！ 毎年60億匹のオスのひよこが屠殺されているそうです(⌯˃̶᷄ ﹏ ˂̶᷄⌯)
60+ million babies are killed in US LEGALLY and funded by US government. Hypocrite. Evil.
Chicken Balut...Not so popular, but possibly delish venture opportunity
