It's still being fed garbage unless it's free range. I meant that I ate unborn chicks which are still in the shell. Not being a biologist, I don't know how you feed an aviary foetus through the said shell. The nutritional content comes from that of the mother. If the hen is being fed garbage, then the eggs has been made of garbage. If you see the yoke of an undyed commercial egg (or even one that is dyed) and a real chicken egg you notice an immediate difference.

Ah.
So, the sole remaining problem is: is it right to eat animal babies?

Elephants, tigers, rhinos...etc...very bad.   Not against culling (but I don't know that there are many wild animal species left in large enough numbers to have to be regularly culled) or putting man eaters to sleep (though it's better if they could capture them and let them live in captivity instead).
