One-day old chicks are actually rejects from poultry farms. They only choose the female chicks for egg productions and the male chicks ends up as "One-Day Old Chicks".
The baby birds are eaten batter-fried. You eat the whole chick because the bones are so soft. People usually dips the chicks in vinegar and/or red chili sauce. One-Day Old Chicks are also a popular pulutan (finger food) while drinking Red Horse Extra Strong or San Miguel beer.
There are more than 250 million male chicks that are killed at the hatcheries every year in the West. These are the chicks that are born at the hatcheries, half of whom are female, for the egg industry, and half of whom are male. Well the male chicks, not being bred to grow quickly enough for meat production, are useless to the egg industry, so they are killed at birth. Literally, these precious little fuzzy chicks that everybody goes gaga over -- when they are a day old, they are killed. They are either suffocated or thrown into what are called macerators, and they are ground up alive -- 250 million every year!
