even if we completely disregard the possibility of not producing so many eggs (reduced consumption of meat and eggs to start with) tech is moving forward. There are more and more reliable ways of determining if the chick will be male by physical and spectroscopic assays so you can determine the gender within a week of hatching and at least dispose of the egg (nervous system seems to develop after this period).

That is future tech, not today tech.
not really, it seems to have evolved enough to be considered a serious probability and large scale trials

Let’s hope this works out.
