It's always spring in the egg industryโuntil half the chicks are killed. ๐ฃ๐
Males donโt lay eggs, so theyโre discarded as waste. The brutal truth behind Americaโs favorite breakfast side ๐๏ธ https://t.co/WYSKZ5t5y4

Chickens can count, show empathy, and communicate with her chicks before they hatch.
Here's what the science proves โ and why understanding it makes the cage worse, not better ๐๏ธ https://t.co/uiunWgmUmC
She couldn't move.
Neck in the cage bars. Wing open. One foot holding on.
This is footage from Automated Egg in Indiana โ a facility supplying Kroger supermarkets.
Kroger says its suppliers maintain "a high standard of care."
This was filmed in May 2026.
She was abandoned at the park because she stopped laying.
Thatโs the logic the egg system teaches.
But many domesticated hens are pushed into painful reproductive disease because theyโve been bred to overproduce.
This is not a bug. Itโs the feature.

You pay extra for "free-range" eggs because you imagine a hen outside.
The legal requirement is a small door to a small outdoor area that most hens never reach.
The image on the carton is not a photograph.
"Cage-free" sounds like freedom.
It legally requires: no outdoor access, no minimum space per bird, no limit on flock size.
20,000 hens in a shed qualifies as cage-free.

What happens to a hen when she stops laying enough eggs?
She's called "spent."
At 18 months old, with a natural lifespan of 8-10 years, she's slaughtered.
The carton doesn't mention any of that.

7 billion male chicks are killed every year on day one.
They're male. They can't lay eggs.
That's the number behind every carton โ before you even get to the hens.
๐๏ธ https://t.co/xYdNDrF4Yp
Wild hens lay 10-15 eggs a year.
Factory hens lay over 300.
That's not nature. That's 80 years of genetic engineering for profit.

Hungry. Pale. Skinny. Bald.
That's how they arrived. The egg industry was done with them. Their bodies had given everything. 300 eggs a year. 10% of their calcium per shell. Feathers gone. Bones brittle. 72 weeks old. "Spent."
Then someone got them out.
He finds food and calls his flock to eat.
He guards her while she lays.
He sleeps less so they can sleep more.
The egg industry kills 300 million of his sons on day one.
He was built to protect. Not to be thrown away.
This Father's Day โ remember the fathers no one celebrates.
Cage. Barn. Free-range. Organic.
Same genetics.
Same 300 eggs.
Same slaughter at 72 weeks.
The label changes the building. It doesn't change her.
Try egg-free instead โ https://t.co/Yh62zCq87D
She's stuck between the bars. She can't free herself.
The other hens step on her. Not because they're cruel. Because there's nowhere else to stand.
No worker checks. No one is coming.
The industry calls this "enriched" housing. Over 400 million hens. Nobody knows she's here.
311 million hens are missing from your attention right now.
Not because they're less interesting, less individual, or less alive. Because an industry worth billions made sure you'd never look.
Start looking ๐ https://t.co/s0JVTdqbVX
This isn't a joke. Every "beauty step" in this carousel corresponds to a real stage in the selective breeding of the modern laying hen.

She didn't evolve into this body. We engineered it for her.
