Sexing eggs? Boiled? Fried? Scrambled? INNOVATION !
Chicken eggs are a popular breakfast staple in the United States.
BUT !!
Commercial chicken egg producers need to replenish their hen livestock population on a regular basis, to keep the supply of eggs supplying the market demand.
Problem is that means millions of male chickens, worthless as a commercial commodity, have been being destroyed.
Technology to the rescue!
There are scientific teams from three separate nations that are working on technology that is quick enough and cheap enough per egg to spare hatching worthless male chickens, and then destroying them.
These technologies are intended to determine the sex of the embryo, even before it has to go into the incubator.
This way, the females can be incubated & hatched, and produce commercially viable laying hens.
And the eggs that would have produced worthless male chickens? They can be sold as: EGGS !!!
Technology marches on.
