Description
At Saint-Fulgent in the Vendee region of western France, one of France's five hatcheries is now using the ovosexing technique. This uses hyperspectral imaging to determine the sex of a chick directly in the egg. This non-invasive method avoids the culling of male chicks, which will be banned in France from 1 January 2023.
