Sexing eggsSexing eggshttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/dec/22/worlds-first-no-kill-eggs-go-on-sale-in-berlin There is a new test commercially available so factory farms rearing hens as egg layers don't have to kill live cockerel chicks, but can detect them early enough to use those eggs for animal feed.
Can't be bad, though no help to back garden hatchers. Dance caller. http://mo-dance-caller.blogspot.co.uk/p/what-i-do.html
Sunny Clucker enjoyed Folk music and song in mid-Cheshire Re: Sexing eggsNot heard of that, Mo. Bet it is pretty expensive though, everything is that is 'new' out. It will certainly help to stop the culling though, so hope it takes off.
Re: Sexing eggsIt's a factory in Berlin that has developed it after protests against the culling of chicks
Noticed too late that the link didn't work as I intended (yet I did what I always do), could some kind mod put it right please. Dance caller. http://mo-dance-caller.blogspot.co.uk/p/what-i-do.html
Sunny Clucker enjoyed Folk music and song in mid-Cheshire Re: Sexing eggsSorry Mo. I can't put it right only delete it.

Now back to the topic of punching a laser hole in an eggshell to test for female hormones in the 8 day old embryo. Dance caller. http://mo-dance-caller.blogspot.co.uk/p/what-i-do.html

The test looks great and the outcome is good as far as I can make out re the 98% efficiency. I wonder if coming out of the EU will slow us down in this country in being able us to go this way though. Re: Sexing eggsI suspect that a lot of the Eu regulation on animal welfare, workers rights, environment will also be shredded as 'red tape'.
Yes, that is why vegans don't eat eggs (one reason anyway) Dance caller. http://mo-dance-caller.blogspot.co.uk/p/what-i-do.html
