Doesn't really matter, but there sure as hell won't be any more chickens if there are no (fertilized) eggs to restore the populations of chickens decimated by avian flu.
Hopefully the chicken farms are making sure there is a substantial number of hens being fertilized and those eggs are being cared for to produce chicks.
A substantial amount of medicinal research is also effected using chicks. I know that's not important to RFK Jr, but it is important to the human race in general. Another reason to preserve the population.
Am I just talking about chickens? Maybe not.
