Get your perverted mind out of the gutter girl :-P It's a chicken farm job. I don't know what all is involved in the job exactly, but it has to do with baby chicks.
ReplyDeleteHere ya go - thank you Wikipedia!
ReplyDeleteChick sexing is the method of distinguishing the sex of chicken and other hatchlings, usually by a trained person called a chick sexer or chicken sexer.[1] Chicken sexing is practiced mostly by large commercial hatcheries, who have two different feeding programmes, one for the females (or hens) who are destined to lay eggs for commercial sale, and the others for the males (or cocks), most of whom will be disposed within days of their hatching because they are irrelevant to egg production. A limited number may be kept and fattened for their meat. The chicken sexer puts the chicken hatchlings on the appropriate track early, enabling those chickens to receive optimal nourishment for their likely commercial role from an early age.
Different segments of the poultry industry sex chickens for various reasons. In factory farms that produce eggs, males are unwanted; for meat production, separate male and female lines for breeding are maintained to produce the hybrid birds that are sold for the table, and chicks of the wrong sex in either line are unwanted. Chicks of an unwanted sex are killed almost immediately to reduce costs to the breeder.
no no,
ReplyDeleteI knew exactly what it meant...
I just mean that when I woke up with a semi positive attitude to get a job today, I see this.. It made me laugh.
I just needed a laugh I am having a particularly hard day empotionally. Feeling so stuck in a rut.
I was kinda surprised you have to have a degree for this. Doesn't seem like it would be difficult if you can sex a kitten, dog, person, etc. Maybe I need to bone up on my agriculture....
ReplyDeleteooooooooh. well, could have fooled me!
ReplyDeleteGrowing up, a friend's father was a chicken sexer. He was very, very good at it, and got paid A LOT of money to teach other people his techniques.
ReplyDeleteBut that didn't stop me from giggling every time I saw him. Chicken sexer. HA!
