is double or triple jabbed. fergus walsh, bbc news. scientists in britain have eugene editing technology to read female only and mail only litters of mice. they say the technique could eventually be applied to chickens to ensure that only egg producing females are hatched. how science correspondence reports. our science correspondent pallab ghosh reports. half of these chicks are useless to the farming industry because they re male and don t lay eggs so they have to be killed. that problem could be solved thanks to a breakthrough that enables scientists to reprogramme animals to produce only females. some 6 to 7 billion male layer chicks are killed every year shortly after birth at a point when they have a nervous system and are capable of suffering. we would like to be able to move to a system where those same eggs are laid, but instead, never hatch. scientists at the francis crick institute in london have found that the system was successful in mice and they think
