Why Don't We Eat Roosters? (The Dark Truth About Male Chicks)

Open your fridge and look at the eggs. Then look at the chicken. You probably assume they came from the same bird, but they didn't. And the reason why hides one of the strangest stories in human history. In this video, you'll travel back 3,500 years to the forests of Southeast Asia, where a shy wild bird first stepped into a rice field. You'll discover why the first chicken keepers probably didn't eat them at all, how a 1948 contest called the Chicken of Tomorrow split one bird into two completely different animals, and what really happens to billions of male chicks every year. Then you'll see the new technology that can tell a chick's sex before it even exists, and what this story reveals about the hidden cost of making anything perfectly efficient.
