Why Don't We Eat Male Chickens?

Why Don't We Eat Male Chickens? Every time you buy a carton of eggs, something is happening in the background that almost nobody knows about. Half of all chickens born are male. And yet they are almost completely absent from the egg industry. Where do they go? This video reveals the hidden truth behind one of the most ordinary foods on earth — eggs. We break down why the egg industry and the meat industry are two completely separate worlds, why male chicks from laying breeds are commercially worthless, and what actually happens to billions of them every single year. We also cover the revolutionary new technology called In-Ovo Sexing — a process that identifies the sex of an embryo inside the egg before it hatches — and how countries like Germany (2022 ban), France, and Italy are already changing the rules. 📌 KEY FACTS & SOURCES REFERENCED: ASPCA (aspca.org) — Male Chick Culling & In-Ovo Sexing Research 🔗 https://www.aspca.org/protecting-farm...
