Tyson says that a chicken shortage is partly to blame on its roosters.
Tyson cites a decline in hatchings earlier this year, saying that it made a bad decision on the male it uses for breeding. It is now in the process of swapping out that type of rooster but says that reverting back will take some time.
Let me guess … men (males) are baaaaaad mmmkay?
AW SAY AW SAY!!
Some one screwed up badly BOY!!!!
Like much of ag genetics there is a declining pool to draw from. Generally speaking there are only 2 bloodlines in meat bird production, Cobb or Ross birds. This narrowing of the gene pool has been q concern for some time
So their chickens aren’t coming home to roost
Damn Incel roosters.
Well the bird said it was a rooster, how could we know it was really a trans chicken claiming to be a rooster.
You beat me to it.
Maybe if the hens would look a little prettier or weren’t such bitches to the roosters. Maybe give them a compliment or clean up around the barns a little. The Rooster is up at the crack of dawn doing his job and he comes home to nothing but clucking from the hens. Roosters have needs you know.
Mark wins the internet, maybe for the 21st century.
Roosters with inadequate cocks. Go figure!
L – Once the roosters got on Instagram, they got to see chickens without their feathers and that scared them off mating with them forever.
That’s what she said.
John Galt, we need to talk about Dagny…
Soy roosters?
On the upside, the hens weren’t punished with a baby. Yay! Down with the poultriarchy.
I heard they’re actually selling those “babies” for cash. You can actually see them for sale in fancy little cartons in the grocery store.
Soy based feed. High estrogen levels in the water supply from human female birth control. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you impotent roosters.
The amount of money to solve it might turn out to be a poultry sum.
The whole matter reminds me of this ditty:

Somewhere some young rooster is about to win the rooster lottery.
My dad was a barber and this was my favorite barber shop joke.
One day a drummer knocks at the front door carrying a rooster in a cage and he tells the farmer “This one rooster can service your whole flock”
The farmer buys the rooster and sets him free in the henhouse that evening. The next day all of the hens are laying around exhausted with their tongues hanging out. The farmer is impressed.
The next morning he comes out to the barnyard and not only are all of the hens splayed and exhausted, but the pigs and goats too. Now the farmer is really impressed.
The third day the farmer comes out and now the dairy cows in the barn are laying around exhausted too, but this time the rooster is lying in the barnyard himself, laying on his back in the dust, and buzzards are circling overhead. The farmer says “Finally had enough eh?” and the rooster points up at the buzzards and says “Shhh.”
That’s an oldie but it’s still funny.
I think the chicken shortage is bring deliberately orchestrated. Just like the gas shortage and lumber issues. It will be one thing after another.
Are you claiming its a cock-up?
Now don’t you go all serious political on us. This is the chicken joke thread.
Can’t say the same thought didn’t cross my mind. This is all starting/continuing to seem mighty coincidental.
Guess we’ll just have to buckle down and work harder with less.
Well, it’s been a bit chilly.
I think the hens discovered that a big 700 can’t do the work of a hard 500.
Cobb that is.. or something.
Why did the rooster cross the road?
To see his friend Gregory Peck
It’s just part of the leftist plot to bring down Chick Fil A.
Next they’ll claim there’s a goose shortage in order to bring down that pillow fella.
Thanks for the chuckles gang …..still a little depressed after listening to Foghorn Leghorn himself , ignoring the science and keeping us shut down into June .
question: Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
answer: The rooster.
Now that the laughter has died down a little I’m going to guess Tyson has some lucrative export contracts. To Ch … Chi …. Chin. China
I mean cmon guys Tyson has been in the chicken business way too long to make a mistake like that
Brooster the rooster was a prolific breeder ,he went at it non stop.One day the farmer told Brooster he had to slow down or he would kill himself from the exertion,sure enough the next day Brooster was laid out in the yard feet in the air and some buzzards were circling The farmer walked over and was about to say something ,Old Brooster opened one eye and said “Shut up they’re about to land”

I almost forgot what this post was about because the comments were so great! Brought a smile to my face and a few chuckles.
They had the wrong type of rooster. They were hens that decided to identify as roosters.
A farmer had a rooster of whom he was very proud, and who kept the henhouse productive. The farmer thought he’d get scientific and monitor how often the rooster was visiting the henhouse. The path from the rooster’s coop to the henhouse ran underneath the farmer’s bedroom window, so he tied a bell around the rooster’s neck so that he’d hear him moving.
For a couple of weeks he heard regular activity, but then it dropped off to nothing. Yet the henhouse remained productive. The farmer began to keep watch, and was amazed to find that the rooster had learned to slip the bell off his neck so he could approach the henhouse silently.
Well, he made that rooster famous and nominated it for the Pullet Surprise and also for the No-Bell Piece Prize…
