Hatchery Chicks

[thereseeleonora]

Why the hell do the use that happy music? It just creates a scenario where this type of treatment with animal is ok, and it's not!

[Andersonjc13]

That is not even right. Let's toss the workers asses around like that, I bet they wouldn't like that either.

[filipiliescu]

Do you know why is done the operation from 2:50? TO KILL THE ROOSTERS! Why? Is not economicaly efficient to feed roosters when you have a egg farm. So KILL THEM ALL! They are gased or microwaved for 3 sec...Desgusting!

[xenathegoat]

type in:  undercover investigation at hy-line hatchery. this is what the Discovery channel conveniently left out - what happens to rooster chicks of egg laying breeds.

[tah3579Z]

If there was a hatchery like this in my area, I'd work at it.

[Marinermandrone]

@tah3579Z suck a penis

[tah3579Z]

@Marinermandrone Why don't you suck yours instead.

[Marinermandrone]

@tah3579Z LOL IF i could do that. I would do that all the time

[shernajwine]

I have been watching How It's made on netflix and I saw the episode of the chick hatchery and I was HORRIFIED. I couldn't believe how they tossed them around like they were nothing. It's like they weren't living breathing creatures that feel pain and fear. It made me cry. I HATE crap like this!

[medaguy123]

Chickens!

[fuocofuu]

We need to go back to when we hunted our food.

My soft spot for baby chickens has been abused with this video.

I mean i'm still gonna EAT them but they're treating them like they're MnM's or something on that conveyor belt.

[tah3579Z]

Where is this hatchery?

[tah3579Z]

I have worked in a hatchery, a lot of what u see here happens.

[JefafaSB]

Fucking bleeding hearts! Go hug a panda, you SUV drivin liberal ass suburban soccer mom bitches!

[smklakken]

I'm with you. Who cares? They taste fucking good!

[OhNoNotMyPenis]

i want that chick at the end, sooo cute

[antclubrock]

thoes people are FUCKIN IDIOTS SUE THOES ASSSHOLES

[DemonVonKitchenSink]

Sad :(

[coloradochica808]

theyre so cute.

[GaelithJr]

Once I'm through college and making my own damn money, I'm buying nothing but organic. This is shameful.

[Phuckyooo]

@GaelithJr The government will stop you

[ZGJDJD]

they didnt show male chicks going into the grinding machine... 

[anilesep]

this is chick abuse 

[nomisbr]

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­E

[andrew23419]

This is the funniest shit I have ever seen, Fuck PETA

[akareine]

Wow...I'm not a vegetarian. I've attempted. But this really just makes me sad.

[IdNemesis]

Ever seen baby ducks jump out of a tree? They're just fine.

[dandypajamas]

Thumbs up because it is informative and I thank you for posting. I am NOT a fan of factory farming at all, however.

[spanxzili]

damn how long would it take to sort all those chicks

[cephalo786]

Chickens are not people. The evolutionary strategy is different. When a human (or horse or chimp or whale) baby dies it's a big deal because they have very low rates of reproduction. Chickens have a much higher rate of mortality no matter what because their strategy is more quantity than quality. If chicks die in this process they probably would have died in other circumstances too.

[cephalo786]

@cephalo786 That being said, efforts should be made to reduce their suffering, by humanely culling males and raising the chicks in clean appropriate condition when they reach their destinations.

[101101101777]

So inside their eggs they're penetrated and given some vaccine filth, then sprayed on them after birth. Oh and Discovery doc failed to show us the death bin/grinder for the male chicks. and slavery is supposedly banned?

I believe this video is called rape and snuff.

[laydbackjson]

I work at a hatchery and I can say that if you were to take the conveyer belts away then you would be adding on to the workers hours. You would up it by atleast 4 hours and I don't think any hard working hatchery worker would want that

[PCOStherealdeal]

@laydbackjson are you joking? Oh lord I hope you have some twisted sense of what is important. For one... "poor factory workers would have more hours.. there for more income... waaaaah poor babies.... we would have to carry the chicks to our work station ourselves.... that's too hard for us to do."

[PCOStherealdeal]

@laydbackjson secondly... THESE ARE NOT TRASH they are living breathing thinking creatures that that disgusting greedy industry callously throws away because it's not worth their time or precious money to make an effort on behalf of the beings that are taken advantage of. You know what I see when I watch vid's about hatchery's? A concentration camp.

[Klarreboy]

LOL the humanity!

[DragonflyOnBreak]

How can those adorable little chicks endure all that? Thats awful! When I get my chicken this weekend it will never be THROWN around like a rag!

[teenmod12]

omg. im watching this thing and all im seeing are these cute little balls of fluff being tossed around. lol. just throw then chicks around. lmaf

[Milola98]

Poor chicks. They are so cute. How could you kill them.

[Cindyanne1]

Not all hatcheries treat the chicks this way. The key is to find a hatchery whose practices you agree with and buy only from them. It might be more expensive, but at least you can be sure there's no conveyor belts involved.

[MachineAmbition]

@Cindyanne1 Or, one can simply stop eating eggs...

[Ptteage]

hahaha those chicks look so cute on that conveyor belt of DOOOOOM!!

[michellekluge6969]

they treat those chickes like shit

[porolita22]

THe way they treat those fragile chicks like objects is DISGUSTING!!!!

[trooperx666]

theyre very tough they arent hurt ive seen chicks fall from the top of my coop ramp and he/she was totally fine . yes just tossing them is a little messed up , but theyre tough.

[Savantix]

@porolita22 We're gonna EAT them in like a month. What do ya think of that?

[porolita22]

@Savantix You have to ask? Are you an idiot or something? Enjoy all the hormones and shit you'll eat :) cheers!

[strikeard]

i hate the word "SLAUGHTER"

[sheepwshotguns]

well, you know what they say, you cant spell slaughter without laughter. you should probably be thankful they didn't show what happens with the unwanted male chicks.

[michaelfreudiger]

@strikeard you cant spell "SLAUGHTER" without "LAUGHTER" :-P

[akoanani]

what is this a hatchery?

[gavincurtis]

These chicks got it good... Disneyland funpark from what the video shows.

Check out what turkey chicks endure... Iron Maiden house of horrors, death and dismemberment.

[holasweety]

i think i saw that.. or something that is similar to that...its terrible

[medaguy123]

Chickens!

[dave929]

Also, I wonder how much they get paid in those plants. And, did you notice that they are wearing ear protection? - is that from the sounds of the chicks or the machinery?

[dave929]

To all you crybabies, if you are so heartbroken over how these chicks are treated, then I guess that's up to you. I'm sure there are plenty more vids out there which would upset some if they saw how different things we take for granted are made.

[MazenS007]

WOW i didnt realise the life of a chick was so much fun.,. all those rides and slides and conveyors builts.. awesome !

[Tecobelli]

The worst part about it is how far we've come from treating them like living beings. I'm a vegan, but don't have a problem with people eating meat as long as the animals/birds are treated humanely. There's nothing humane about this video. Bring back the family farm!

[ensilves]

now I cant complain about my job!!!can you immagine spend 8hrs a day determining sex of chicks!?!?!??!

that suck man!

[givebirthathome]

Lol. There are actually world championships of who can sex chicks fastest. I think the Japanese have the record.

[akoanani]

at least you have a job......

[TurtlesHermitCrabs]

i have chicks

[chocoxbananaxo]

thats horrible , they were just born, and they are being thrown around. i feel bad for eating chickens now!! and they are living things too= [

[Tecobelli]

It's so sick how far away we've come from anything resembling compassion.

[GFHmicaella]

agreed

[givebirthathome]

Agreed about the compassion, but I didn't think these chicks looked that badly mistreated. Still, they didn't show us what happens to the excess male chicks, which is supposed to be bad.

Too bad more homeowners don't keep a chicken or two themselves. It would protect rare breeds, help keep the kids in touch with food reality, and reduce demand for factory eggs.

We need to change zoning laws that interfere with healthier food, family and work.

[bbredman]

can u dertime the sex of a bantam like that?

[TheOwNeR395]

lol kevinsnee careful what u wish for

[kevinsnee]

Weeeeeeeeeeee... That looked fun! I wish I was a chick so I can go on that ride!

[lilmisshushu]

goshh it looks so mean oO

[wazzenisexzy]

i feel sorry 4 em..

[drbcook]

I learned alot from this video thank you.

[DODGE222]

How Its Made: Chickens

[extremecalling]

Wow...this video really makes me want to go veggie...

[TheUnsilenced]

Start doing your homework. Life isn't a fairytale, especially for nonhuman animals. Humankind makes sure of that.

[TheUnsilenced]

Gryphon09: First of all, PETA is not the only animal organization out there. Many more and better animal rights organizations exist, so stop pretending that PETA is all we and the nonhuman animals have got. Second of all, male chicks (who are useless to the egg industry because surprise - they don't ovulate) are disposed of by the egg industry by being gassed, tossed into a grinder alive, and yes - tossed into plastic trash bags where they will suffocate.

[juanloz45]

enough with the sisi coments. this is food, not pets.

[Psychoticpanda]

this is wrong on the HIGHEST levels.

1. many animals must be stuck on the floors or in between cracks of this factory dieing/dead.

2. many chicks must of went with the shells when they seperate the chicks. (you can tell their trying to jump out)

3. they are thrown into chutes like toys.

4. the workers dont care about them, if their in a bad mood im sure they just treat them worse

5. this factory has too many chicks im sure they wouldn't care if a few die.

[orgminyak]

@Psychoticpanda I don't think you'll stop eating them knowing this, will you?

[paperairplanelord]

@Psychoticpanda

How would they feel if they were ground into oblivion, alive. Like if Jews killed 6.5 million Germans and there relatives

[devil9chaser]

@Psychoticpanda I guess none of u enjoy your roast chicken none of u see the way a mother hen is with her chicks they r not the gentlest of animals, they stand on them, kick them around, peck them n u are concerned about chicks being moved a on roller. Next time you are cooking a chicken or buying your fast food chicken think about your high set morals then. It is all part of the food chain and you and your friends and family are part of the demand for the supply so don't look down your noses

[HTCSWEOD]

Wow, I've never seen such a huge operation! There is a DVD called Regarding Chickens, I think I like the small scale operations shown in that DVD a little better. But thanks for posting this video... very interesting.

[arabtipz]

this is humans in tha future... ever seen the matrix?

[matthewona]

Wow , I was about to type that. I second the motion.

[mynamesnotdan]

those workers werent really handling them carefully they were throwing them around

[savannahcatz]

Wow! That is an amazing system. The machinery itself is just incredible. Makes my little incubator look like a pos!!

[DentalHTCorp]

After the *thrill* ride..

Chick #1: That was fun! Let's do it again!

Chick #2: Fuck! I think I broke my neck after the 2nd fall.

Chick #3: Thank God you made it, some of us didn't make it pass the egg shell separator.

Chick #4: The human said we're going to be eaten. So what's the point?

[goaulddigger]

The Discovery Channel should be ashamed of itself for pushing better treatment of pets and preservation of wildlife while ignoring or celebrating (as in this case) the widespread, systematic abuse. If any private individual treated a dog like these companies treat food animals, that person would be publicly humiliated, fined, and locked up.

[goaulddigger]

... I especially love how this part skips over the fact that anesthesia isn't used to de-beak, the chicks do get caught in the machinery or fall down with the eggs, and the male chicks, injured chicks, and surplus chicks are suffocated alive in plastic bags. What makes these animals less deserving of proper treatment and freedom than the lions and zebras most of us will never even see?

[Gryphon09]

Do you really think the people working in these hatcheries would go through the trouble of "suffocating chicks in plastic bags." They do all of this stuff for efficiency, and going through the trouble of putting animals in pain is not efficient. PETA's done their job and brainwashed you just fine..

[melhar23]

i have a silkie baby chick thats about 2 days old. I'm ashamed to see how they're treated. Chickens are such intelligent animals, why on earth are tehey being thrown down those chutes like that with such little care ?.

[flying45rabbit]

oh come on now...the chicks dont know any better, like theyre longing for the life they once had. it is probly a better/safer beginning for them than they would face in a natural environment.

[ddrmaster4]

that hurts them ouch!

[tvs08]

i love this. fantastic. it symbolizes everything about our current modern culture. see those fat laadies with the painted nails processing rivers of downy little chicks? wow.

[anjulipillay]

poor lil chicks its like making shoes ar candy they have a life!!!!!!

[kirbyfan95]

o_o poor, poor chicks.

[Zartyzzo]

uhmmm... do they know that chicks are actually LIVING creatures? it doesnt look like a hatchery it looks more like a factory thats producing candy or shoes or something =b

[dentalherbal]

oh what a taste? give me chicken souppppp

[mads500]

very bad!

[EdsEnemy]

Samuel L Jackson stars in...

CHICKS!

ON A BELT!

[SonicLightSpeed]

Those people have no hearts. Those poor things are mistreated. =(

Vegetarianism.

[PoiZinConTrol]

How can anyone find this funny? From the time the chicks are born they're treated horribly, not once did I see where they stop the conveyor at the feed trough.

[presto530]

They don't have to, they have special food stores in their body that they have from the egg so they don't have to eat for the first 72 hours of their life I think

[Zaning]

HA HA HA HA HA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Pauluk33]

WTF, blimey, i had no idea, thats fukin terribel, chicks on convayer belts. not right at all

[Fatal616]

oh yay concentration camps for chics.

too bad they dont show what happens to the males..thrown and sealed in trashed bags to suffocate.

[michaelfreudiger]

some females are used to make more eggs, the rest of the females join the males in the chicken farming industry....

[hazelxxx1]

@Fatal616 poor chickeys i want to save them all and put them in my garden

[ThatGuyFromAustria]

@Fatal616, oh yeah, "concentration camps"… because the purpose of chicken farms is to exterminate all the chickens in the world, because of their considered racialy impurity, for they are unwanted for political and religious reasons… idiot!

[bunniboo1414]

@ThatGuyFromAustria ok, he's kinda just using it as a metaphor! It is the equivilent of a concentration camp (actually worse)

[ThatGuyFromAustria]

@bunniboo1414 it's a wrong metaphor.

[bunniboo1414]

@Fatal616 at hy-line hacthery, the males are grinded up! :'(

[ruthybssm]

I feel guilty while laughing. :::shrugs:::

[rwait]

hahaha

[xxCoffee]

that was horrible =[

[fedesartorio]

That was awesome!

[944turb0]

Great show.

[WurdBendur]

Those poor chicks. It's like the roughest roller coaster ever.

It's so funny, though. :)

[AAsNameWasStolen]

Hilariously cruel. :(

[MoterPants]

interesting
