It means the determination of gender comes from genes contributed by the hen not the rooster...I am having a lazy brain morning...what does this mean?
Unlike mammals with XY chromosomes in males and females with XX.I am having a lazy brain morning...what does this mean?
Most peeps don't realize that these cockerels aren't simply going to the trash....this would make it so the egg producers wouldn't have baby cockerels to deal with after hatching
Out of 25, only 5 of mine were pullets. Now, that's bad chicken Karma
Maybe I'd feel differently if I actually ate my roosters. I can't eat my pets, so I give them away to be eaten most of the time. Sometimes I can find people to take them as pets, but rarely.
I dropped the temp almost one degree and got more Pullets than Roosters with my last Hatch, so maybe there is something to that. I sell my Roosters at the local Flea Market. I raise Swedish Flower Hens so they always sell fast and for better money than an ordinary chickens. I will never raise anything but Swedes. Calm nice birds that become pets easily. I have the best Rooster I have ever had and I have had Chickens for about 30 years, of assorted breeds. Right now my 10 week old birds fight to be picked up by me! Very loving nice birds. Yes, I am probably getting Senile. I talk to my chickens every day. They are just such a nice Breed. And I am retired.Based on scientific study done by chickenmadscientist.com Higher incubator temps equals more Roosters. Lower temps equal more pullets. See problem solved!!!
Well not really I kinda just made that up but it sounded good while typing.
But you can "Eat your mistakes"! My Chickens free roam most of the time, so they eat a lot of Grasshoppers and other bugs, keeping my feed bill down. So it doesn't cost me as much as some people to raise them to maturity. And they eat anything that we eat. And I have a big garden which helps a lot. Then they are salable at a profit. Or I look at them as a cheap meal. Whatever comes along, bottom line for me is I enjoy them very much. Raising them, watching them, or eating them.Well I need to rant too. One pullet out of 13 chicks
Mama determines the gender.I am having a lazy brain morning...what does this mean?
