Good news for male chicks

Quote:I also find it interesting that most humans would be "grossed" out by fertilized eggs.
Most people I know in my neck of the woods have a rooster with their hens for many reasons.
Therefore we get fertilized eggs.
When collected [as they should be] on a daily basis, that fertilization goes nowhere.
You only see a tiny white dot in your egg yolk and you really have to look to see it.
It doesn't seem to bother anyone I know, lol.

We always had eggs like that because we got them from a local chicken ranch. I never considered that a problem.

I have more of a problem with how they do things now with the hens in the tiny cages.

I will look for something about in-ovo egg sexing. I have no idea how they plan to do that.

We don't need big fat chickens that are basically deformed. A healthy male chicken would be healthier as a food source. I doubt anyone can taste a difference.
