00:04Eggs and chicken are common ingredients in people's daily lives.
00:07They can be seen on the dining tables of almost every household.
00:11Of course, vegetarians are an exception.
00:13But did you know that eggs and chicken are rated at Japanese dining tables?
00:17Behind the scenes, there's actually a group of behind-the-scenes engineers.
00:19In Japan, they have a rather niche major.
00:22They call him the "Chicken Top Master"
00:24What do they do for a living?
00:26It involves specifically touching the anus of newly hatched chicks with your hands.
00:30Then quickly determine whether it is male or female.
00:33They can even determine the sex of up to 1,000 chicks per hour.
00:36That speed was quite astonishing.
00:38I'm wondering what he is like.
00:38Male Female Male Female Male Female
00:40Just like that, I felt my way through.
00:41He said, "Otherwise, how could you identify so many in just one hour?"
00:44Well, according to the reports...
00:46They have only about 80 chick sexers in all of Japan.
00:52What about the appraisers?
00:53They usually have to start working on the rooftop before it gets light.
00:56They would observe with the naked eye
00:58Then gently touch the newly hatched shell with your fingertips.
01:02Footprints of anal genitals
01:03Quickly determine the sex of chicks
01:06Why do we start distinguishing male and female chicks so early?
01:10This is because roosters and hens are used for economic purposes
01:14The feed formulations and growth cycles are vastly different.
01:17The earlier you identify the male and female animals and raise them separately, the better.
01:20The more it helps chicken farms reduce feeding costs.
01:24It is a key driver in maintaining stable egg and chicken prices.
01:28Despite the challenges of being a chick appraiser
01:31Eye endurance
01:33But what about their income?
01:34Many people are scrambling for it.
01:36I really envy those who are eager to do it.
01:38Most appraisers are freelancers.
01:39They started work at four in the morning.
01:41Then they handed over the batch of chicks that they had entrusted to them.
01:45After all the identifications were completed
01:46They can then finish work and go home.
01:48That's because of work.
01:49It usually ends around noon.
01:51Many people can also take on part-time jobs or side hustles.
01:53So what about now?
01:54Appraisers only need to work about half a month each month.
01:57What about the money they earned?
01:58It can be comparable to the average annual salary of a Japanese office worker.
02:02High hourly wage plus flexible working hours
02:05Let this niche major...
02:06It has become a truly invisible iron rice bowl.
02:09That's not all!
02:10Where is the chick appraiser?
02:12This century-old technology originates from Japan.
02:14It is also quite popular in the international market.
02:17Due to the limited number of related job opportunities in Japan
02:20Many newcomers who obtained licenses
02:22They almost all go overseas to develop their careers.
02:24To accumulate their experience?

02:29Kazuki Takahashi revealed
02:30After he obtained his license
02:31He then went to work in Sweden.
02:33After that, I also went to Germany.
02:35France and Denmark, among other European countries, are bordering each other.
02:38And he even had turkey
02:40Both ducks and geese can accurately distinguish between male and female.
