They're Usually Shredded Alive Rule :( - Lemmy

They’re usually shredded alive almost immediately because they’re seen as “waste” since they don’t lay eggs For some more context: Why the egg industry ‘shreds’ baby chicks alive (NSFL) [https://youtu.be/zdvnDHKB7nA]

Never understood this. Why not raise the roosters for their meat and feathers and leave the hens for laying eggs?
The hens are bred for laying as much eggs as possible, on the cost of meat production. this means, that it isn’t profitable to raise them, just to get some meat, when you can raise other chicken breads to get twice the amount of meat.
