Ah, for this is helena a very strong minded chicken . Shes curious and always on the move and shes yearning for some human company. Much might be sometimes its like he doesnt even know shes the chicken yet. Can you stop . Helena isnt just any chicken, though. She is one of 26000000000 of her kind on our planet. The chicken and the egg, an evolutionary success story. Although chickens play a role in our lives almost every day in one way or another, most people know very little about them. Ah, the home, it was a little like love at 1st. I site the 1st time i saw helena is in hop. Ah, this is helen as owner lisa, or rather, dr. Lisa, yom, agricultural scientist, chickens are her work to egg laying chickens to be precise. Ah, theres a gaping void and helenas nest once again. And yet the whole point was for her to lay eggs and hatched them. But helena didnt immediately start laying eggs. When unhappy are men, she started hoarding the other hands eggs in the middle of the winter. When i looked under helena, i found a 12 anchor. I it was a mix and none one hasnt. Yvonne she ended up hatching him. He kept saying, hows the bluetooth . She nabbed the eggs from the 7 other hens she lives with and lisa youngs garden. All her chickens had been facing dire fates for you. Im not, as we have a loss of welfare cases, take chancy. Here shes from a brood of laying hands out. They were at slaughter house, and shanty escaped from the transport box walk. Ah, these dwarf, warping tens are missing one spike, and their crowns are combs. They were supposed to become feed for the zoo. Ju nano was the only white hen and a flock of brown ones. And the others bullied her. She ended up completely feather las and it looked like she might not survive. But now she lays more eggs than all the other hens here. Do. Nana is definitely no charity case. Ah, and the young family gets to have fresh eggs almost every day along with amazing chicken facts. Ah hi good. This egg yolks are among the biggest biological cells name to us, and not as well say, jim sal where the chick developers did with and vicki and exxon, one of them is nutrient rich animal laced filter like guns gun, see the national for that 103. They have everything a chick needs to grow up healthy and whats good for chicks is highly nutritious for all of us. Chicken eggs contain particularly valuable protein that our bodies can easily transform into its own. Along with minerals, vitamins trace elements and unsaturated fatty acids. But what about collateral . The latest Research SaysHealthy People dont have to worry but nature didnt come up with eggs as food. Theyre actually highly sophisticated incubators. And theyre very tough. Little chicks have to put a lot of effort into picking their way out. Jobs will not get done until x are a real marvel of nature, but i, english is on the shelves are critical to protecting the changing auntie hannah. After all, to be off. The hens sits on the egg laundry. Takes it several times a day, i think as i was a task to withstand a great deal of for diamond. And its so tough in them that the checks even have special teeth cold. Thank teeth to break, open the eggshell. Ha ha also gretchen. But how can eggs be so strong top them once and theyre broken. Lisa young decides to stress test an egg herself, depression root, im pressing really hard trying to rank it, messed up. I wouldnt have thought itd be so difficult. I really thought i busted open, but even with all my strength, i cant should i stand on that thing . No, maybe not. That wouldnt help us understand why eggs seems so fragile, but are extremely sturdy at the same time. Its their shape. Ah, theyre curvature helps distribute forces evenly across the shell. And thats in part due to their structure. And egg shell is normally point 3. 00 to point 4. 00 millimeters thick and made almost entirely of calcium carbonate. The main ingredient and limestone. So its very strong. Its made up of many little pillars called crystals, densely packed together. They form a sturdy structure. And the numerous pores lend the shell a degree of elasticity. But they also help the egg breathe, carrying Carbon Dioxide out and bringing fresh oxygen in. And the airs, humidity penetrates the egg, preventing it from drying out. But lets come back to these little ones hatching here. Larry offspring at the scientific poultry farm and almost kitchen biologist ma hika phelman is still moved by the experience even after all these years. But these chicks here dont look all cute and fluffy. Are they doing ok . And he and spanish duncan, i can within 24 hours, the freshly hatched checks look completely different because they really fluff up just like typical checks and they have to keep up with their mother. Then theyre already agile can handle walking longer stretches and can eat and drink. So theyre basically ready to go within 24 hours. The status. On this day, several different breeds of chicks hatch, including baby dwarfs silky chicks and german creepers. Scientists breed old races here that have become very rare for research or not as much. And sometimes we simply have them here because they look so sweet. Hm. Ah, ah, in europe there are officially about 200 different chicken races. All shapes and sizes and colors. But are they really all interrelated . Unity via arms and the chickens. We have here as pets, are domesticated animals that once developed from wild ones, we can see the wild rays here, the red jungle fowl. Ah, the red jungle fowl is a tropical bird from the fe sienna di, family, and thought to be the ancestor of common domesticated chickens. At 1st glance, these extremely timid animals hardly look any different than the chickens. We know today. A thank you, decide what really sets them apart is their size. There are of course, even smaller chicken races, but when you look at them, they wouldnt be much use as roast chicken. And they also dont lay many eggs, maybe 20 for a year. So not much compared to laying hands, which lay over 300. 00 eggs a year. Yeah. Wild chickens originally come from south and southeast asia. But its hard to say just how long chickens and humans have been living together. One theory relying on fossil evidence suggests that chickens were 1st domesticated 8000 years ago. But not all scientists agree. What does seem certain is that the indus valley civilization captain bred chickens from 2500 to 2100 b. C. Traders then brought chickens to the middle east via the silk road. And to egypt around 1475. 00 b. C. Chickens then spread across greece to italy at around 500. 00 b. C. Our ancestors valued the animals for their magnificent coat of feathers, but not so much for their eggs and meet the bird served spiritual and medical uses and battled it out in cockfights. The romans were the 1st to raise chickens in large numbers as a source of food, and they spread domesticated chickens throughout europe. Only in the 20th century did farmers begin breeding chickens meant to provide either meet or eggs. The resulting hybrid chickens, crossbred from pure breeds are meant to yield maximum food as cheaply as possible. One hybrid line provides meat and the other eggs and at the end of their lives. Meat for soup ah, researchers and breeders have been extremely successful. Increasing the amount of eggs, hens could lay to over 300. 00 a year. Conditions for raising chickens have also seen improvements. The cost of feed is dropped, stalls are automated, and minimal space is required per hen. Mm. Conventional battery cages may be prohibited in germany now, but demand for the cheapest possible eggs has kept on climbing. In 2020, the average german consumed 239. 00 eggs for a total of 20000000000. 00 nationwide. That may sound extraordinarily high, but its more than just breakfast eggs because even if we may not notice them, eggs are present in all kinds of foods. Readers have pushed hybrid, laying hands to their physical limits, and that impacts the animals health. Lisa young has been investigating the topic, for instance, when it comes to sternum damage as palestine. The sternum is like this in the hands of the hands stomach when its standing. He is the hancock and has the tail. And now we can see all nice little thumb on the stem decline property i. A these ants and o fratkin is in dust, and i often see things like this of thea. One kind of fun asking us this hen must have been in a lot of pain as my ha, oh sh manslaughter. Oh, today lisa young is at the state owned franken housing farm, a training and Research Site that belongs to the university of castle. Shes researching organic chickens for the future. The animals do more than produce eggs. Theyre also like little lab assistance. And these are no hybrid animals, their dual use chickens yielding both eggs and meat, the league and this in vinegar. They dont lay quite as many excess, conventional commercial hybrid doesnt. For more like 240. 00 instead of 300. 00 a year and gigs up to die or not. And since they lay few axles, they have fewer stone and fractures getting. Hi allison ah, these hands are fortunate, not only do they enjoy top rate production conditions, but they also have roosters in their stalls. The males eat a lot yet have Little Market value. What a luxury and affinity you signed roosters almost exclusively on organic thumb, even because theyre an enormous cost factor. Futon, they eat a lot, but dont lay eggs. The thought is, theyre not profitable. My. My bank asked my guarantee in the idleness or that is all they come down the flock and ensure the chickens go out needing to less behavioral disorders of like picking feathers. Wed have to feed because that busy performing the natural behaviors of best species instantiating chron, roosters are important. I received some tire. Ah. So theyre not a mere luxury. And helena would be happy to have a male around to protect her again. You have now somehow used to have a resistor hahn in the 1st one would wake everyone up at 3 in the morning. He was on hunt. I dont mean just asked, he would wake all the neighbors tune up, your stomach said yeah, and then we had another rooster that guarded the flock so well it would attack awesome wouldnt let us approach the hens. Meta him, me got rid of that one too. He had numbered on all hopkins, and these hands also have to live without a rooster. Now. Up until a week ago, there were still 3 young roosters in the connell families yard. They got along well until a fight broke out between them over the hens, peace and harmony, never returned. And so the roosters ended up in the frying pan. The familys passion for chickens began with a birthday surprise. They got to borrow chick, and there was no turning back. They just had to have another 5. That was the plan anyway. Hello, denise canada. No one i know is stuck to 4 or 5 chickens. Once youve caught the chicken bug, theres no going back. If youd see a this minus the 3 roosters, they now have 10 adult chickens and another 14 chicks hatched 2 weeks ago and gets wanted. I always, if we had 20 eggs and end up with 10 roosters, well have to slaughter them at some point. No 9, we might keep one, were not sure. It depends how the boys behave because especially with roosters like them. Its hard. Of course. We basically raise them is its me, they sit on your knee, they fall asleep in your hand and you have to decide at some point in my wilma, your lifes going to end tonight. Im in the sunbeam because tonight im going to slaughter and eat you as it sounds so extreme us disclaimed. But the little ones will have a really great life for at least half a year. And thats at least half a year longer than the brothers of laying hens normally lead. Because theyre immediately sorted out and killed after they hatch. Thats the dark side of breeding to attain maximum egg yield. The hens, brothers are mere waste products. 45000000. 00 male chicks die each year in germany. Its not worth it to raise them to adulthood. They eat a lot, but dont gain weight easily and only a 3rd of their meat is suitable for human consumption. But killing mailed chickens will become illegal in 2022 farmers will have to raise the roosters. You come on us now, can you even manage that cost effectively by this . Because the most expensive part of racing animals is the fee henderson types and long hands, the selected for high yield and not that producing needs to be interesting funds. And there is one work around already determining the sax inside the egg. After 9 days, analysts extract some liquid, but its inside remains untouched. They utilize a bio engineering procedure to show which eggs contain a mail embryo. Afterwards, those eggs are sorted out, the method is already being used. Another approach involves special light beams and is said to be effective starting from day for the res, penetrate the egg and are reflected back out. Then systems analyze the reflected light showing whether the egg contains a rooster or hence leo land and damita certify organic farms. They reject this kind of egg selection. They want male animals raised as well. 500 eggs have hatched, and eunice dawns hatchery. Now, the chicks are being packaged for their big trip to the breeder or fly little pool. But these arent just any chickens. Theyre brass gal was dual purpose chickens to how we fat in the roosters that these ones dont fatten up as big as normal broiling, but they dont have to either. The hens lay a lot of eggs. I dont have to lay 330 of them, but they lay quite a few years old. And we can make good use of both products once. Since we dont have such high yields, we dont need that much lead either. So that makes for a lot of birds with one stone le le dual purpose chickens are still a nice product for now. And the quest for the organic chicken of the future has only just begun. Ah, jonas dawn relies on old raises and new cross breeds. His animals are meant to be tough and healthy. There is no question about it. His eggs and meat are more expensive than if he were to raise hybrid animals. But there are an increasing number of consumers who want to stop supporting factory farming. Broiler chickens are custom bred to yield maximum meet and they can be male or female. The goal is the lowest price possible. Thus is d fall moved to this is the formula for a perfect rosa chicken window. Thousands of punch cards, a used to find the chicken with ideal characteristics killing and its supposed to reach a ready to eat white as quickly as possible using minimum feed. The chicken shouldnt be under or overweight because that would negatively impact the processing work flow. Factories like these continuously boosted their chickens productivity to day it takes just 28. 00 to 30. 00 days for a chicken meant to be roasted to be ready for slaughter. While those bread for chicken breast take 42 days, i use him to snatch a babys underscore escrowsll systems cant ha yet when they gain so much weights, they fast that bones this if they winked, they cant always carry their body. His guns tottle couldnt. These chickens are 7 weeks old. Conventional boilers would already be passed to their slaughtering age and hold organic poultry farm and bits and housing. The clock ticks more slowly. The chickens live for at least 12 week. The parents are also hybrid animals, but theyre crossbred so that they grow and gain weight more slowly. The chickens have more space and daylight than many of their kind. They get to head out into the winter garden, eat organic feed, and always have fresh water. Busy busy busy in the end, an organic chicken often costs 3. 00 to 5. 00 times as much as a conventional one. And few are prepared to pay that price. Just 2. 6 percent of poultry farm is organic and whether organic or not, were eating increasing amounts of white meat. Its considered healthy and low fat, and many would prefer to just not think about how their tasty chicken breast comes from an extremely sensitive and friendly animal. Uhm, as a skip tonight is ins, is it . So tallie, some chickens are very trusting and friendly and or you can grab them, hold them in your arms and pet them slices. A lot of chickens enjoy it and theyll just sit there and it cinema. They closed their eyes and a really cuddly, you know. And they recognize their people and so they can tell whether its me walking past the fence. So some strangers, im song help, i lost i more and more people want to know where their food comes from. And how well the animals live. Owning your own chickens is becoming more popular. Houghton bag based farmer muscle image opted to get his own in 2018. Ah young bunch, cellphone festival. I can, i am at some point. We knew we wanted our own eggs and we had a little stole and some grassy free space. They were about 20 chickens in it. And then i thought actually i dont like this because theyre always in the same grass. That was we decided to get our 1st mobile stolen stood and asked mobile style and shed, and now they have to mobile stalls and 350. 00 chickens. And theyre constantly on the move. Ah, they change locations almost every week so that they always have fresh grass. Theyre outside in all kinds of weather where they can pick and scratch around like chickens do. Ah, and they feel safe with the billy goat and its family by their sides. The goats keep away, the greedy claws of birds of prey, yet eager, fast one relative grow. Its a pretty big rescue than since were moving around and often in areas with trees, where buzzards or other birds of prey dwell under a cry, fogel out and, and they might sometimes snap up a chicken, comes off from off or come, doesnt wound on cold, but what a terrible way to go. But hold on before we wrap things up. One last important question. What came 1st . The chicken or the egg . That yet this is what a silly question, but really i have no clue monkwood. Researchers have been trying to answer this question for centuries. From a biological standpoint, the response is simple. First came the non chicken, because chickens are birds, birds evolved from dinosaurs. And dinosaurs were reptiles, which evolved from amphibians. Amphibians came from fish and they all lay eggs. That means eggs evolved much earlier than chickens did just not chicken eggs. But even the happiest chicken has to die one day. And until now that generally men off to the slaughter house of the tooth is full, even their death is fully automated and they move through a machine. The machine stuns them with an electric shock on slaughters scolds and plucks them lupsi. Ah, the procedure hasnt changed much over the course of time. Even the final step is largely automated and extremely effective. Few alternatives have surfaced for commercial farmers. Almost a challenge of lands on this is mill. You have to remember its a farm animal and theyre ultimately supposed to be slaughtered. I tried to provide the chickens a dignified passing even though for clyde. Then thats why my cell image has been driving his custom designed slaughter mobiles through hesser since summer of last year. And poultry farmers no longer have to squeeze their chickens into boxes for transport. This loaner. Mo beal comes straight to their stall and that spares the animals, a lot of stress and injury. So cornish, the theatre cliffs before i just catch the animals before mister ammunition comes in and then they dont spend much time on the transport box on so good have pleasant lives right up to the end of truth. And im going flim that, chris on darcy is thus ready to yoga. Alonzo, the biggest difference is that we hold the animals and put them under individually doesnt hm cross laughed off that path. Thats different than that of factory slaughter house where chickens are hung upside down low and run through an electrified pool of water. Electro barbs mit vasa was held off, patheon con dustbins, or if any of them pull up their heads and they might not end up being sedated, kind of and will be cut open and bled while fully conscious at some inclusion it scalded. What cut up . Farmers have already to sell chicken after just a few minutes ago, and the customers at the farm store, feel good knowing the animals had a pleasant life of me. Up with helena has many happy chicken years ahead of her. Meanwhile, the quest to breed the super chicken of the future goes on a chicken that provides us with enough food, but doesnt have to suffer. But its worth while to take a look back at chicken races of the past. The, this young man, when it comes to Climate Change, for instance, we dont know what well need in 1020 or 30 years school. And thats why its important to maintain diversity. These chickens may end up having characteristics that prove critical to us in the future. And thats why its a god dream, the important to have and preserve these different races often can reset whatever the future may bring. One thing seems clear. Helena wont be laying eggs every day, just every now and again. Lets not forget, shes a different kind of chicken. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, with who go india. A toxic tied in dallas, yamuna river, made from detergent. Indian cities have massive sewage problems, which are still managed by hand in some places. But help is on the way back to assist when the going gets tough, that they might not even be necessary thanks to organic detergent, tico, india. 50 minutes on d.
