Egg Farmers Say They'll Stop Grinding Up Millions Of Chicks Alive

Most egg farmers in the United States will stop grinding male baby chickens to death over the next four years.

United Egg Producers, the industry group that represents 95 percent of egg producers in the country, announced Thursday that they would end the process of “culling” male chicks by 2020. Instead, they'll use technology that determines the sex of a chicken embryo still inside an egg.
