chickens don’t give out free eggs, we take them from them by force and we don’t really ask.
it as if slave-catcher catching people to sell them to slavery commented on the topic with “hey, free people!”
Very astute observation. Chickens lost ownership of their means of production to capitalism long before humans lost owning their own tools of production.
If you let chickens be in charge of their own eggs they will stop laying and try to raise their children.
Yeah, i grew up on a small farm so i got to see it. Edit: Imagine what humans would do if we didn’t have to lay all our eggs for the oligarchs.
Well don’t you need the roster to make them in to baby chickens?
Not necessarily, no. Chickens are capable of parthenogenesis, or reproduction without a male, tho it’s fairly rare.
It would probably happen a lot more if we tried incubating all the unfertilized eggs we have them produce every day, but they take longer to mature and are smaller on average than chickens born from sexual reproduction, so it’s not really worth pushing for from a husbandry standpoint.
Well but naturally, if you got a hen just laying eggs, what will happen if nobody picked the eggs?
They eat them.
Parthenogenesis is natural, an adaptation for adverse conditions, typically caused by a specific gene (or genes perhaps, the research is pretty young yet). If it happens and they tend their nest like they want to, it’ll hatch and be female.
Most chickens won’t produce self-fertile eggs at all, and those that can don’t always produce fertile eggs either by my understanding, so most of them will just be wasted. But if you get a specific breed that’s known for it the chances are much higher.
Yeah that’s my point. Only in rare occurrences will they be actual chickens, most of the time, they’re going to waste
Chickens lay eggs anyway
Chicken are bred to lay more and more eggs, to the point of exhaustion. This was never a free choice, of course. Neither was it natural.
people exists anyway
We could sell hats for the eggs?

Goes hand in hand with collectibles. Then random surprises inside the egg, like a loot box.
Usually you don’t want surprises in your eggs. This changes the whole game!
Great idea, but the makers of Kinder Eggs might sue over that last one lol
Loot

I don’t like it, but I get it
Those chickens have to feed their kids, unless we eat them all
No problem, I always thought eggs were kinda shit anyways. They can keep them
