Regardless of if chickens are free range, organic etc millions of male chicks are killed each year because they are simply male. Male chicks dont lay eggs and are gassed or grilled (and turned into pet food) just because they have no interest to the farmers. Free rage simply means they are free to roam around for A SET PERIOD OF TIME. They are still kept in harsh conditions for feeding and at night. This is common for even the posher stores such as Waitrose and Marks and Spensers. That is not to say many male chickens are simply maked death as they are born as they can infertile female chickens and still can be used for our needs. This is for chickens but it still carries the same message.
