With respect, that doesn't really affect the point I was making.
While I agree with you, the people/companies who supply those chickens to the local supplier still have no use for the male chicks.
So even if you're buying eggs laid by hens that have a great life, you're still causing animals to be killed.
Like I said, I have no right to be preachy. I just want more people to think clearly about this stuff.
I hope the "no-kill" method becomes widespread.
- peteradio 8y agoOh I see, I did not consider roosters at all. Not really sure what you do about them. They are nice to have for protection in an open range setup. What exactly do they do with roosters in the no kill method?
- J-dawg 8y agoThey are never born/hatched - the new method allows the sex of an embryo to be determined while it's still in the egg. Effectively they are "aborted". Some roosters would obviously be preserved as breeding stock, just as they are now.
