chicks are killed every minute
Industrial food producers say that this is a normal part of the egg production process.

No need for this anymore
The technology exists to end this unnecessary and wasteful loss of life. France and Germany have already mandated using “in-ovo sexing” technology which determines the sex of a chick as early as day nine of incubation, sparing male chicks a brief life and pointless death.
Bring cull-free eggs to the UK
Cull-free eggs can be available in shops and supermarkets. Tell the government to ban hatch and dispatch and give us the chance to buy kinder, better, eggs at last.
