Praise to the EU. Male chicken shredding has been outlawed since 2022!
Edit: I was pattially wrong about this. The ban is only in effect in some of the members. Namely: Germany, France, Italy Luxemberg and Austria
The EU itself is still in the process of deciding on such a law.
As far as I know most get sold to meat farms where they’re raised to about 1 year old with the other meat chickens and then slaughtered for meat. Still far from ideal, but way better than being shredded right after birth.
Only female chickens makes egg. Male baby chickens gets throw in the meat grinder alive.

So what happens to them? Just a slightly more humane death before they reach a week old?
