But you need to raise hens to get eggs. And if it turns out a rooster, you kill it instantly. This method avoids hatching the roosters.


It has often surprised me how many people don't understand this part of the egg industry.

I eat eggs, so I'm definitely not making any moral judgements, but the process is brutal. I would definitely buy no-kill eggs when they come to the UK.


You can make moral judgements if you acknowledge that you violate your own morality rather than having illusions otherwise. It just shows how powerful are cultural momentum and habit and the path of least resistance.
