I think if the chickens could talk to us. They would prefer this life lol. As opposed to being in the wild fearing for their lives. They get food, shelter, and talking buddies. The life
We would also use acoustics to check for hidden cracks in our farm fresh eggs - an egg with even a tiny hidden crack will have an off sound compared to an uncracked egg when you gently tap the two together. Cracks are still ok to use, but we would save those for ourselves rather than sell them to customers.
neither the chicken nor the egg came first; it was the rooster. edit: you're a yolk to us. pre-edit: would you want an experimental penguinism guide to producing human eggbabies?
@@Vinnicombe1 _platypuses aren't friends, they're food!_ (universal platypuses, that is... you cut their legs off, then they happily await the new legs to grow back, it's a win-win situation, really)
Entire video shows how eggs are mass produced and at the end tells the audience "Don't buy your eggs from these guys go buy free range or organic instead. " I'm sure factory that allowed Discovery to film at their plant appreciated that.
I dont think the effect of this woulf be that drastic as we would like it to be. As mass produced items tend to be way cheaper it is a more appealing option for most people.
these machines never cease to amaze... I can't fathom how these machines are, well, made :D (how people come up with that, I mean... yeah, they're smart, studied people, of course I'd know nothing about it)
@@laternevercame they actually are intelligent enough to understand what is happening. They know they're absolutely cramped and miserable. Just because you don't understand the self awareness of a chicken from a human standpoint, doesn't mean they don't have one. And just because they're bred for it doesn't make it right.
I am no bleeding heart animal rights activist and I absolutely love eggs and eat them everyday, but I choose to pay a higher price from local farms because I know their chickens are grown free, they have space to walk around and have some semblance of a happy life, it just feels right.
Good to see that they changed the voice over for this one. I can't be the only one here who remembers the original line, "As for the chickens, their reward for all their hard work? An all-exclusive trip to the slaughterhouse!"
Soy or soybeans should NOT be given to animals to eat, as that soy could be transferred to people when they eat the actual eggs. Soy is NOT good for men.

But they are a commodity. Living organism or not. Side note...you might want to look into the living condition of "free range" chickens. It's very similar to these guys but instead of a few in a cage, there's thousands crammed beak to butthole inside a large warehouse.
Another side note. Yogurt is filled with living organisms and not only are they kept in air tight containers their whole life, when they are finally eaten, they're still alive when it happen. Where the fuck is peta. Fuck you yoplait!!!!
@@laternevercame aight so lemme explain. People tend to see animals as just commodities and resources rather than living beings. In a way, they are. But, with this in mind, they tend to be mistreated. For animals with brains, it is inhuman to keep them in bad conditions because they are psychologically damaged. It is seen as wrong to make an animal suffer through life before ultimately dying for us to eat. At least let the animal live in the gentle bliss of a farm before having a quick and painless death. I guess it doesn’t affect the quality of food, but if you think about it from your point of view, you would rather live a happy life before having your neck snapped than living in a crowded and unkept cage. If I had the ability to become vegetarian, I would. Cows, chickens, pigs, and other mass produced farm animals are not given the right to live as a living being, but is forced to suffer until death. Think about sea world. The whales there are proven to have lots of mental disorders like depression and anxiety. But, they are often seen as means to an end for entertainment. Therefor, is it okay to just let them suffer to entertain us? Are humans the most superior in that sense? Should we just use all the other animals to fulfil our desires and wants? I think cohabiting is more important. We can use these animals for our desires as long as we help them in return. Give them good lives, treat them as we would treat our loved ones or pets, and when we ultimately use them for our own desires, make their passing as quick and easy as possible to avoid suffering Sorry for the long rant. I am slightly passionate about this topic, and I have a friend who is really passionate about it.
It's amazing how much thought and process is given and put into producing the foods we see in our grocery stores. I found it interesting and informative when the presenter said, white or brown the eggs are the same inside. As a grownup, I've only ever bought brown eggs. For some unexplained reason I always thought brown eggs were better, all things being equal of course.
even more so "amazing" when you realize how much of it is tossed in the garbage without any remorse, ugh... I'd totally buy stuff that are close to or post expiration rate (or "shelf life"), if it was like /2 or /4 cheaper... I'm sick of everything being terribly overpriced, and how things that aren't sold are being discarded... foreign company chain brand grocery stores especially... You could literally "end world hunger" with the $h*t that gets tossed in the garbage, but noooo, let's not do that... or at least alleviate the _sitch_ for low income ("poor") people (like me!)... Humanity is pretty wasteful, innit. (and they're the same eggs, yes... the narrator just says that there's an option of choice, if you for some reason have a personal, subjective moral dilemma with the caged chickens, you can, like, you know, decide not to buy these, maybe? that there are alternatives, you see)
@@ArinJager1 That is capitalism, give people an abitrary date to throw stuff away and typically they will buy more. Keep it turning, feed the machines. Keep it turning.
Hears a fun fact about eggs. Washing chicken eggs actually removes a coating on the eggs which naturall occurs to keep bacteria and outside contaminants out of the inside the egg. The best way to clean an egg is when it's ready to actually be used. In other words right on the spot.
@@Crazytesseract This video is public. They want to "prove" that the place is humane by making it look extra shiny when the cameras are rolling in case someone important sees it while searching for evidence of animal abuse
@@officerlarry2686 weird, I find occassional chicken $h*t on my eggs... I thought eggs shouldn't get wet unless right before you have to use them... different country customs, I guess :/
Funny fact: Countries like the USA require the cleaning of eggs. Afterwards, because the natural protective layer is cleaned off, they are sprayed with oil to protect them again. In Europe they don't clean the eggs as the natural protective layer is considered sufficient. Feathers and dirt on the eggs is mostly done on purpose to give customers the idea that the eggs are natural and better. Source: I'm one of the designers of these machines
poor chickens... never see the sun or walk on the grass. I am glad i have my own free range happy chickies! eggs taste way better too. but yes, I named them Piri Piri, Nugget and drumstick.
Robert, egg tastes are impacted by what chickens eat, if you don't believe this, just feed your chickens some garlic bread & you'll accept it VERY fast lol. With this in mind, eggs from chickens that have access to insects & other high quality food scraps & other foods they tend to get as pets will generally have FAR more flavour than caged chickens on a controlled, constant diet of soy & grain. Even the yolk colour will be different. I think most people with backyard chickens have at some point needed to buy eggs instead for one of many reasons & the difference is extremely clear to anyone who's done that!
Nah, the claims of free range chicken's eggs are tastier is entirely false. It's pretty similar in taste and nutritional value. It's more about ethical value
I went from peanut butter, through honey, to eggs... _good tmes_ (not that I haven't seen these before, either ages ago on actual cable TV, or on here many years later) ^^ life's strange
Letting chickens die in the wild is in my opinion wrong... wouldn't you agree that "survival of the fittest" entails that humans, as the fittest, have the right to do what benefits them to lesser beings?
Although it seems wrong, the eggs are the same wether the hens are in those conditions or not. I prefer more humane conditions, but chickens may not realize how they are treated
I most certainly don't... I only buy cage-free. On average it's about $3.50 a dozen, which in the grand scheme of things isn't much when you think about the stuff we spend money on, like alcohol. I've stayed over night with a friend a couple times recently. She cooked breakfast the next day and used the type of eggs you see in this video. They literally tasted like sadness compared to the cage free I'm used to, but I didn't want to be rude. Were it up to me I would have uberd or driven her car to the nearest grocery store and bought a dozen cage free eggs. The yolks are bright orange instead of pale yellow, and the shells are tougher. They're also more nutritious.
@@wakywind42 I've heard that schtick before, but the eggs I get are ACTUALLY cage free/free range. You can tell by the eggs themselves. I've compared them to eggs my friend occasionally brings me from his parents who own chickens. The only real difference is that the sizes and colors are not standardized. Some are big, small, white, tan, brown, etc.
Yeah, these stupid vegans cry a river. Yet eat their boyfriends eggs at night. Isn't that hypocrisy already? And oh it's meat so they unconsciously eat meat!!
@@nahor88 lol you sound like you're helping humanity by yourself. You sound arrogant. Next time please educate yourself and watch documentaries about “free ranged a.k.a caged free" chickens you're blabbing. You're just making yourself look like an ignorant fool.
In England it's illegal to put eggs though this disinfection process. That's why you sometimes buy them with feathers and, er, stuff on them. And we don't keep them in the fridge either...
Why would they need to make a video about how it's made with free range eggs? Egg comes out the chicken, farmer goes and finds the egg, not a very interesting video huh?
This is how when a mommy chicken is ugly and can’t find someone to love it she gets depressed and lays a egg then big boi bob comes over to snatch dat egg and sell it online
Very interesting process of working with eggs. Very sophisticated machines. Eggs now is costing $8.00 a dozen. Does the chickens charge more to make eggs?
