Discovery Channel Mass Chick Incubation Video

[Nuclear Chickens]

Found this on YouTube while looking to learn how to Incubate Eggs. WOW! Ever wonder how factory farms got that many chicks in a short amount of time? That's a lot of chicks.

ugh. those poor babies!!!

OMG, that was terrible to see them on a conveyor belt like that! They must be terrified

I would get fired from that place because I would be stuffing as many chicks into my coat as possible!

 

[Nuclear Chickens]

Yea, me too. At least I know mine are well cared for. Kind of like we are giving good homes to refugees. Wow did I just coin a new phrase. We don't keep chickens. We provide homes for Factory Farm Refugees! Let the movement begin!

Sound like a very good mission for me. I will need more coops.

the person speaking said day 19 they use their beak to crack a hole in the shell after 6 to 8 hours the chick is free.......... and so on. did anyone else catch that? the dumping of the chicks is sad to me

My 4 year old grand daughter just saw this with me. Shook her head and said "we sure take better care of our baby chickens."

Geez what a system.

Oh and yes I caught that too.

And that's where your hatchery ordered chicks come from.

It was okay until the chicks hatched, then it was all down hill. That video was pretty sad.
