Men, take note:


No matter how cute they are

all chicks get sexed

and while the hens get to lead short,

hopefully productive lives

the cocks get tossed into a grinder,

still alive mind,

and processed into chicken mince,

sausages, animal feed and,

as you might guess,

chicken feed.


There's only room for one cock

even in a barnful of hens.
