[Ag-eq] further to: "Chicken Sexing"

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Jewel.
Those are funny chicken names!
I never thought of processors checking for fertilized eggs.
So you don't keep chooks?  They seem to be easy keepers.  Several towns
around here are allowing chicken-keeping now.  Not sure about my town.  I
don't eat enough eggs to need chickens.

Subject: [Ag-eq] further to: "Chicken Sexing"

To continue with this fascinating subject, I said that there could be no
guarantee that eggs laid by 
free range hens had not been Fertilised by roaming roosters who had escaped
from, perhaps and more 
likely, family chook owners.
To make this test, I believe  that there is a process called "candling"
where the belt on which  the 
eggs are lying passes under a light, and if the light detects the presence
of a blood spot, 
indicating that a rooster has had his wicked way with Chicken Licken or Mrs
Henrietta Eggworthy, it, 
said egg,  is removed:  post haste:  from the belt!
