Workers take newly hatched chicks out of their shells and put them onto a conveyor belt at the Wadi Hatcheries in Sadat City March 8, 2007. The Wadi Hatcheries hatches 400,000 chicks daily and is the largest hatchling factory in the Middle East. Since bird flu appeared in Egypt, workers have started manually inoculating day-old chicks, born from disinfected eggs laid by vaccinated birds, after plant management determined that automated vaccination could miss some chicks.
