I watched "How It's Made" on the Discovery Channel instead of Monday Night Football for about 25 mins tonight. I've never seen such bad treatment towards baby chickens... I couldn't turn away
What were they making?

fertilized eggs should result in a baby chicken
unfertilized eggs go to another place for farm animal consumption

How were they treating them badly? What'd they do?

I watched dirty jobs once when Mike Rowe was sexing baby birds that they were selling. He had to squeeze them and that made them poop in a bucket, then he could turn it over and tell if it was a boy or girl.

It was completely mechanical. Right after the eggs hatched and the down feathers had dried, the eggshells and baby chicken were put on a moving platform. That platform filtered the shell from the animal - the animal fell through the hole, while the broken shell was too big.

After that, on another conveyor belt, the squawking chick gets thrown down a chute by a person. 1 chute for males, 1 chute for females. I then saw chicks scrambling upwards to avoid the "waterfall" drop that eluded them at the next corner.... it goes on for about 2 mins for various other exercises.

I was just concerned because these are animals that have been alive for MINUTES with frail bones, falling literally 3 - 4 feet at a time, about 5 times each cycle, until finally being "categorized" to sit and probably die somewhere. But what do I know about chickens beside the fact that they taste so delicious drool

i grew up on a farm. our chickens were free range.

there was a small chicken farm nearby that processed thousand of chickens. it's a nasty business. the chickens have almost no room to move. they just stand around in cages and eat. they're stacked 5 high. occasionally they get moved to new location until they're the proper size to kill.

delicious, though.
