Could this bring species back from egg-stinction? Texas
firm Colossal Biosciences, which has dedicated itself to resurrecting lost species, including the dire wolf and woolly mammoth, has hatched live chicks from an artificial egg for the first time — a crucial, “Jurassic Park”-esque step in its mission to bring back the moa and other giant, long-gone avians. The first-of-its-kind artificial egg allows a bird embryo to develop completely outside of a biological shell while scientists oversee every aspect from early embryo to hatching. The team hatched 26 “healthy” chickens, which “will live out their natural lives” at the company’s avian...

U.S. — As preparations geared up for the 2028 presidential election, the Democratic Party unveiled its new campaign slogan of "We Hate Capitalism, Hot Chicks, and the Jews." The party expressed belief that the new slogan would convey a clear message about the party's values while broadening its appeal to new groups
of potential voters. "We were looking for a slogan that would communicate our agenda of abolishing capitalism, Jewish people, and objectively attractive women," one Democrat source said. "This new slogan couldn't be more perfect." Party leaders reportedly scrapped other suggestions to return their platform and slogan to a...

The Fall of Ugly Liberal Chicks

Townhall ^
| 7/31/2025 | Derek Hunter
I can imagine that headline getting a lot of people upset – you’re not supposed to call people ugly –but some people are ugly and everyone knows it. I’m
not talking exclusively physically, though that’s a big part. A good-looking woman, for example, can be rendered completely unattractive if she’s stupid or, I assume, liberal (it’s never really happened, in my dating experience, as most liberal women could easily pose for “before” photos for any number of ailments and afflictions, so them being attractive is only theoretical). The thing about liberal women is they seem to have deliberately chosen to...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth responded to allegations of sexism on Thursday by vowing that the United States military would never discriminate against chicks, broads, or dames. Hegseth
had fallen under criticism after apparently failing to specifically recognize the females who participated in the air strikes on Iran, leading him to issue a clarifying statement that the armed forces would never engage in prejudice against skirts. "I'm sorry for the lack of gender inclusive language," Hegseth said, apologizing to Associated Press reporter Tara Copp. "It was not my intention to impugn the contributions of any chicks, broads,...

CAMDEN, Delaware (AP) — A Delaware animal shelter is trying to care for and rehome thousands of chicks that survived being left in a postal service truck for three days. Trapped
in a warm enclosure, without food and water, thousands died before they were discovered.

A duck farm on Long Island has hatched a new generation of chicks — beginning to replace the nearly 100,000 mallards they were forced to kill due to the spread of avian flu. Crescent
Duck Farm in Aquebogue welcomed 3,700 new chicks just over a month after farm operators were forced to cull 99,000 ducks when an outbreak of H1N5 — bird flu — spread across the susceptible flock. About half of the newborn birds are female — with hens beginning to lay their own eggs at the age of six months. New York state had sanitized 15,000 eggs from...

Many people have taken issue with RFK's controversial new policy for all government vehicles to have a mandatory “No Fat Chicks” bumper sticker, with President Biden even weighing in to say, “If he wanted the bumper stickers to say “Less Fat Chicks” or even “Barely Any Fat Chicks” I could understand where
he's coming from. But to say none at all just tells me that RFK has never really partied.” RFK responded by saying, “President Biden knows damn well that the bumper sticker slogan is a best-case scenario and not to be taken literally. It is public record I've laid...

Tractor Supply sells a min. of four chicks at a time. One MUST supply phone # & address to do that
|

A friend trued to buy chicks today | 18 July 2023 | Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin
Someone I know went to Tractor Supply today to buy a chick. The
individual was told that he/she had to supply a phone number and updated address to buy the chicks. I called and asked about the situation and a manager confirmed it. No address, no chicks. He claimed it was a Tractor Supply policy, but I know better than that. Obviously, the Feds are noticing huge numbers of people buying chicks are are now forcing retailers to track who's buying. All of this has gone too far. I am going to call this the beginning of the Chicken Wars.

Germany To Make Culling Of Male Chicks In Meat Industry Illegal From 2022

Germany has passed legislation that makes the culling of male chicks in the meat industry illegal from January 1, 2022. This
makes Germany the first country to ban the mass slaughter of chicks by law. The meat industry utilizes the products of chickens in two key approaches. One is to raise boiler chickens, females that will gain weight quickly and therefore are considered economically valuable for their meat. The others are egg layers, bred to churn out as many eggs as they can before being recategorized as soup chickens. It’s a system that calls for a lot of females with...
