The Associated Press says an animal rights group secretly filmed employees at the Hy-Line North America hatchery in Spencer, Iowa, this past May and June. The most sensational parts of the video shows male chicks being thrown alive into a grinder, as they aren't necessary for Hy-Line's egg business. There are a couple of other shots described in the AP article that show discarded male chicks dying from falls or scaldings.
Unlike the forklift-to-the-cow actions of last year, grinding up male chicks is an accepted and well-known industry practice:

The United Egg Producers, a trade group for U.S. egg farmers, confirmed that figure and the practice behind it.
"There is, unfortunately, no way to breed eggs that only produce female hens," said the group's spokesman, Mitch Head. "If someone has a need for 200 million male chicks, we're happy to provide them to anyone who wants them. But we can find no market, no need."
Using a grinder, Head said, "is the most instantaneous way to euthanize chicks."

Hy-Line, however, has said that the actions of the workers in the video were inappropriate with respect to the chicks left to die on the floor were "a violation of our animal welfare policies," and that they are investigating.

Did you hear that? Cocks are being discarded in a meat grinder.

When will this new wave of sexism end

Cocks in a meat grinder. Brings a tear to your eye.

On a related note, a friend of mine thought chicken nuggets were battered chicks. Not blended or ground or anything, just slid out of the egg and into the batter.

Ill have you know that was the original title for ITV's documentary when Katie Price went to Ibiza after she broke up with Peter André....

seen the video of it earlier. They be just throwing the cocks around. Cocks flying everywhere. Some cocks get stuck in machine and then are brought through the cleaning cycle for the machine, poor cock gets scalded and thrown on the ground to die.

Im sure they could easily find a place for most of the cocks.
