when i first saw this thread i thought you meant 'artificial intelligence'

A few people have said that, sorry to let your hopes down

I was skeptical that it was the AI I was thinking, but I was curious enough to check. Because good gods that would be terrifying.

Another update after my mini vacation. Came home to find that one of the older red chicks proved me wrong (in a good way) and is a pullet! I’m over the moon with it, especially since she looks identical to her PR mom. I swear these two are the biggest six week old mutts I have ever had. The first that hatched out of the two red’s turned a beautiful Buff color, and is a cockerel.

You know.. prior to reading this thread I had never come across any readings or mention of AI use for chickens. Now that I've had a little read - I think I might have to try it with my chickens either later this season or next season!

Congrats on the successful hatch! Here's hoping that next time you get some sebright crosses in there - because I'm not biased at ALL about how cool they are

Thank you! I’m wishing you luck for when you try it, as it did not work for me. I have 5 eggs in the incubator at the moment that I specifically bred the hen to a frizzled Cochin, but also attempted to do the AI once with an Ayam Cemani x Sebright cockerel. Crossing fingers it works
