The government said new methods were emerging that would make it possible to test the sex of embryos inside the egg.
Epilogue
Male-chick culling ban In the last years, countries started taking legal action to ban male chick-culling. In January 2021, Germany was the first country to successfully outlaw the practice. A few months later, France also banned the one-day-old male chick slaughter with some exceptions. In 2022, Italy followed the same steps, prohibiting the practice by 2026.
Question: Would you participate in or support a move to end male-chick culling at birth? Speak your response in three sentences.

[3] Unwanted
Males Killed at Birth
At an Iowa hatcher, 150,000 newborn male chicks are shredded every single day. Chicks born at hatcheries are sent off to slaughter the very day they take their first breath. The only lives these babies know is one in which they are sorted and handled like pieces of garbage. Workers grab them by their wings, toss them onto conveyor belts, and throw them down a chute to spend their final moments in a grinding machine—in which they are ground up while they are still alive.
Question: Most male chicks are culled at birth, all *broilers and fryers are slaughtered after seven weeks from birth (#2), and most egg-laying hens are also slaughtered after a few years when their productivity declines (#1). They are all meant to be killed to be eaten by humans or animals.

Story of Chickens & Eggs #2-Jan 19
[2] How long do commercial chickens live?
When raised for meat, a chicken is usually slaughtered between the ages of 6 and 10 weeks. Broilers and fryers, about 7-week-old young chickens used for meat, are bred to mature quickly and reach a target weight at a young age. This cuts down on the cost of feeding and raising birds for slaughter, and it makes it easier to produce more birds throughout the year.
Chickens meant for laying eggs mature more slowly. They begin laying eggs around the age of 5 months. By the age of 4 or 5 years, most hens have slowed down or stopped laying eggs. In commercial farms, hens that have stopped laying are usually killed to prevent using up resources on an unproductive bird. These older hens often turn up in pet food, and soup stock as the meat is less tender and palatable.
Q-1: How long would you keep broilers? Speak your response in one minute.
Q-2: If you ran a hen farm to produce eggs, how long would you keep your hens? Write your response in six to eight sentences. Refer to [1] How many eggs does a chicken lay in a lifetime?

Story of Chickens & Eggs #1-Jan 16
[1] How many eggs does a chicken lay in a lifetime?
In theory, a hen could lay eggs for ten years. In practice most egg layers - commercial egg layers make up the vast majority - live no more than two years and are replaced with new layers. Based on a University of Florida study, a hen could lay roughly the following percentage of first-year laying over a ten-year period:
Year 1: 100% Year 2: 85% Year 3: 68% Year 4: 60% Year 5: 50%
Year 6: 45% Year 7: 35% Year 8: 30% Year 9: 25% Year 10: 20%
Commercial chickens usually lay 5 eggs per week in year one, a chicken may lay roughly 260 eggs in her first year and about 500 eggs in a lifetime.
Question: Why do commercial hens only lay about 500 eggs in a lifetime?

Satellite observation revealed that the huge crack that appeared
in the Afar region in eastern Africa in 2005 was caused by volcanic activity
underneath the surface.
The region lies on three tectonic plates, which are continuously
moving, crushing in some places like the Indian subcontinent and splitting in
others like the African and American continents.
As the three tectonic plates move apart from each other, the Afar region is
expected to be separated from the African continent and a new sea will emerge
between them like the Atlantic in a million years’ time.

The boy who spent a year in a tent for charity (2:35)
An eleven-year-old English boy is about to spend 365 nights in a tent in his garden. He has endured rainy, windy, and freezing nights since the start of Britain’s first lockdown last March in small tent. On some rainy nights, all of his stuff soaked wet. He had to ask himself why he was doing it on some nights even though he had been quite determined. His intention was to raise money/funds for his local hospice, a hospital for people who are dying, where his neighbor friend, who had given him the tent to have an adventure with it, had been cared for. His initiative received wide support from many people including high-profile athletes and media personnel.
