Okay, who here uses A.I. and why?

Does it help keep your birds in show condition, while still being able to breed them?

I do know that certain loose-feathered breeds(such as Cochins) it is used to avoid shaving while still keeping fertility up.

I have tried looking it up on the internet how, but it seems so complicated that I do not see many people doing it "by the book" at home. Plus, I do not see me convincing Adam to hold the bird while I "milk" it(and I definately could not convince him to do the milking. LOL)

I do not know if we would be able to explain the procedure on here, but I would like to know who I should PM.

The reason I ask is because I have a hen I want to include into a breeding project, but the project cockerel is a huge push-over. Everytime I try to introduce him to her, I find him huddled in the corner while she rules the cage. LOL. She must have some testosterone issues, she even has spurs. LOL
