A new technology called in-ovo sexing is being adopted in the U.S. egg industry to prevent the culling of male chicks. This method determines the sex of the chick while it is still in the egg, allowing for the separation of males before they hatch. Companies like Hidden Villa Ranch's NestFresh brand have fully transitioned to using this technology, with other farming groups also integrating in-ovo sexing machines into their hatcheries. Various technological approaches, including AI-powered imaging and DNA analysis, are being developed and refined for accuracy, speed, and cost-effectiveness. AI
