We would love to keep feed all the male hens, however, this would mean:Our eggs would cost $25 a dozen and we don’t think enough of the market would buy them.There would be a lot of infighting amongst the flock and constant problems.For now, the breeder of our male chooks puts them to sleep in the most humane way we can, similar to what you would do with your pet at the end of their life.We are here to change egg farming for the better though so we are looking at options on having some of the male chooks on the farm (a smaller quantity can actually be quite calming to the flock) as well as groups like inovo.nl who can help with identifying males at the embryo stage. We’ve met with them and feel the idea is a no brainer, but it will take more than just our company to get them into Australia.
