[normalbloke]

I have just filled in an online form for car insurance.In one of the drop down menus for occupation,there was an option of a chicken sexer.There were also a lot of other diverse jobs listed but I got bored after a while tbh.
Bizarre...

Very important job, they don't want to be feeding male chicks, only the females are worth keeping.

If they are being bred for eggs maybe. People eat chicken as well you know.

What do they do with the male chicks? Fertilizer?

Probably the same they do with male calves, shoot them at birth.

They are gassed and used for things like feeding owls and snakes. Sad really. I was silly enough to watch a show about it, I nearly cried when the poor little fellows were gassed, baby animals shouldn't be killed.....

Not much of a life is it. You're one day old and during that time you are shunted along one conveyor belt after another only to be killed for snakes, owls etc at the end of it!

Yeah, I recalled it when typing, and I cannot believe how upset I was at the killing of the poor little fellows, just a day or two old. hell, I'm getting upset now thinking about it.... Time to bail.

What's AI? Is it something to do with 'maralade'?
