Save the cock!

In the Western world, meat production has become a real industry. Particularly chocking is the chicken production : half of the chicks are males, they don't give eggs and don't grow fast enough to give meat. So comes that half of the chicks, namely the male one are killed on the first day of live. Somehow, this is just such a waste.

A new breed is now being tested in Switzerland, for which the female are kept for eggs and the male fatten fast enough to become meat. So no first day killing anymore. However, this breed is less productive than the today's one.

Have a look at the report from the Swiss TV report about this new breed.
