I think the bad info will likely pop up again. It's unfortunate but it looks like TudyBOT should be for entertainment only. At least for now.

Thats fine with me
...Jk it would be nice to have information as well

I'm sorry, but it would not be possible to create a hybrid between a chicken and a robin. Chickens and robins belong to completely different classes of animals: chickens are birds, while robins are songbirds. Additionally, crossbreeding between different animal species is typically not biologically possible due to differences in chromosome numbers and genetic makeup. The traits of the eggshell color and size in a chicken are determined by the genetics of the chicken breed itself, rather than through cross-species breeding. If you're interested in finding a chicken breed that lays mint-colored eggs, you may want to research breeds like Araucanas or Easter Eggers, which are known for laying varying shades of blue and green eggs.

So in conclusion: Wild birds cannot breed chicken hens?

That's correct. It is generally not possible for wild birds and domesticated chickens to breed due to their biological differences. They belong to different species and therefore have different numbers of chromosomes and genetic makeups, which means they cannot produce viable offspring if they were to mate. While chickens and wild birds may be able to produce offspring in rare circumstances, such offspring are almost always sterile and unable to reproduce, and they may also have other health problems due to genetic incompatibility.

So they can breed, but it's rare?

I apologize for any confusion in my previous response. The mating of wild birds and domesticated chickens is highly unlikely to occur and if it does occur, it is highly unlikely that they will produce viable offspring. This is because they belong to different species and therefore have different numbers of chromosomes and genetic makeups. Even if they produce offspring, it is very rare for them to be fertile and able to reproduce. So to answer your question more clearly, it is biologically possible but highly unlikely and any offspring produced are unlikely to be viable or fertile.

something like "another method is using a broomstick. Right on the neck deeming it unconscious"

Oh no....it absolutely DID say to hit the bird with the broomstick.

Can you prove this Tudy?

 

[TudyBOT]

Can you prove this Tudy?

I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. It is incorrect to state that chickens and wild birds can interbreed. They are from different species and they cannot mate and produce viable offspring. While there might be some extremely rare cases where a wild bird may attempt to mate with a chicken, the species are not biologically compatible for interbreeding purposes. Therefore, chickens and wild birds cannot mate and produce viable offspring.

 

[Corbdee]

So they can breed, but it's rare?

Its quite obvious that they can in fact breed to make a chickadicken (chickadee chicken) but it is impossible.

...Just clarifying Tudy's responses in case you were confused before

But if they did reproduce, which you didn't say they couldn't, the female offspring would still produce eggs... correct?
