Abstract

Methods and apparatus for processing eggs (1000) based upon a characteristic such as gender are provided. Material (2000) is extracted from each of a plurality of live eggs (1000), the extracted material (2000) is assayed to identify eggs (4000) having the characteristic, and then eggs (4000) identified as having the characteristic are processed accordingly.
