"In polling, only 10% of Americans correctly identify that male chicks in the egg industry are killed shortly after hatching. A plurality mistakenly believe these chicks are raised for meat, and another 10% even think that male chickens can lay eggs. Most people are surprised, and often disturbed, to learn the truth: in the United States alone, approximately 350 million male chicks are routinely culled each year, typically by methods such as maceration (being ground up alive)."
There's no way that math is right. The wikipedia article says the US culls billions of male chicks annually. Was this written by an LLM? heh

They don't feed them. They grind them up alive then use the resulting slush to feed to other things.
what do those chicks eat? IIUC they aren't sexed immediately after hatching? Maybe I'm wrong.
