Sick and deformed chicks are often culled if the farmer or hatchery can see no way to save the chick. A deformed chick would not usually survive in a flock as chickens always do their own culling. The weak birds are targeted by the healthy, stronger birds.

Roosters are also culled at hatcheries if their intent is to produce just laying hens. More and more hatcheries are now separating the males to be sold off as meat birds rather than culling as was the practice years ago.
