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]

I’d think they could genetically engineer the egg layers to only produce males in certain conditions (such as when they’re incubated at a higher temperature), then only breed males when they need more roosters.

OR, if sex is selected by sperm type (as with humans) artificially inseminate the hens.

I suspect there are dozens of valid technical solutions that are cost effective and would allow them to not shred male chicks.

You’re thinking about turtles
And why not think about turtles? I ask. 🐢
