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?

I am guessing, only based on the fact that the immorally fast growing chickens only make a few more cents, that they are not profitable.

Also I am not sure if roosters can be kept together past a certain point maybe?
