Chick. In poultry farming, in-ovo sexing is a chick sexing method carried out while chicks are still in ovo (Latin for "inside the egg"). There are various methods to determine a chick's sex in the 21-day incubation period before it hatches. In-ovo sexing technology has branched into two categories, invasive and non-invasive.
Chick culling or unwanted chick killing is the process of separating and killing unwanted (male and unhealthy female) chicks for which the intensive animal farming industry has no use. It occurs in all industrialised egg production , whether free range , organic , or battery cage .

In 2009, German zookeepers gave an egg to a male same-sex pair of Humboldt penguins named Z and Vielpunkt, which hatched the egg and raised the chick. [17]
The incubation period for this species is unknown. Upon hatching the chicks are altricial, being blind and naked. Unlike many other cuckoos, the chicks of the channel-billed cuckoo do not eject the other host eggs upon hatching or kill the host's chicks, but these seldom survive as the cuckoo chick is able to monopolise the supply of food.
