Egg and poultry prices will quickly escalate, then be replaced by cheaper imports that put German egg and poultry farmers out of business.

To say nothing about eliminating the jobs of the German chick sex inspectors. Yes, that’s a real job as I saw on Mike Rowe’s ‘Dirty Jobs’ show. Some folks needed to be employed to pick out the males needing to be culled.
That's one likely outcome. Another would be a mass investment in mechanization to emasculate roosters efficiently, putting capon on the menu in more places, but not really doing much for the humane treatment of roosters. A third possibility is that they'll figure out how to sex the eggs and just kill off or sell the eggs of would-be roosters before they hatch, Margaret Sanger style. Nothing makes chicken farming more humane, it only makes the animal lovers feel better about themselves.
