Egg hatcheries would get tax credits to buy new equipment that identifies chick sex before hatching.

This bill would offer a new tax credit to commercial egg hatcheries in the United States. It would help them pay for special equipment that can identify the sex of chicks before they hatch. Businesses could get back 50% of costs in 2027, 40% in 2028, and 30% in 2029.

What Would Change

Today, the Internal Revenue Code does not offer a specific tax credit for equipment that identifies the sex of chick embryos before they hatch, or for the costs to install it and modify facilities. If this bill becomes law, taxpayers operating commercial egg hatcheries could claim a new general business tax credit for these specific equipment purchases, installation, and facility changes. The credit would be 50% in 2027, 40% in 2028, and 30% in 2029, and would end after 2029.
