Infertile Eggs Plan For Rooster Day In Tennessee
Four Tennessee produce firms offer 10 cents per pound for all roosters delivered for infertility efforts with a June to August confinement condition. If roosters are not fully confined the price drops to 5 cents per pound. Government data cite large farm losses from bad egg handling and blood rings, with guidance to keep nests clean, gather eggs twice daily, cool storage, and confine or kill male birds after hatching season.
