Why Don't We Eat Male Chickens?

Modern egg-laying hens and meat chickens (broilers) come from completely different breeds. Male chicks from egg-laying breeds can't lay eggs and don't grow big or fast enough to be profitable for meat — so roughly 7 billion are culled worldwide every year shortly after hatching. It's a hidden but well-documented practice, and new "in-ovo sexing" technology is starting to let hatcheries identify a chick's sex before it even hatches, avoiding the need to cull at all. 🔬 Based on: RSPCA Knowledgebase, ASPCA "Ending Male Chick Culling" initiative, and Frontiers in Veterinary Science research on in-ovo sexing.
