1. This egg is 'chipping' If you look closely you can see the egg tooth of the little chick inside. The egg tooth is at the tip of all babies beaks and helps them break free from the shell.
This egg is in an incubator.
A thread about life and death. #Christmas #GoVegan
2. The little chick inside the egg rotates around the egg until he or she has made a removable lid. They are clever little babies & they cheep to call to their mums all through this process.
3. Then with wriggling and pushing suddenly she/he experiences the outside world for the first time.
Hello little chick 😍
4. Then with one big push she/he is out and able to stretch.
5. It doesn't take long for newly hatched chicks to dry and 'fluff up'.
These little babies are Precocial which means that they can run around after mum and feed themselves.
These little ones have no mum 😢
6. When they are all active in around an hour they are shipped to other areas. They chirp relentlessly because they want their parents. But they are nowhere to be seen
7. They are then moved to a big enclosed where they are fed high concentrated food to make them bigger quicker. Before here though their beak tips have been scalded off.
8. They are then taken to be brutally slaughtered at just 21 weeks old. They are terrified as they are hung by their feet to have their throats cut.
They are then dipped in scalding water to remove all of their feathers and down. Some of the time they are still alive when this happens.
This is the story of your Christmas dinner.
Please think about their lives and please celebrate #Christmas with life and not the death of an innocent creature.
#GoVegan and have a heart this #Christmas2021
Do it for her 💗
