I went outside this morning and my beautiful blrw pullet from Foley (my avatar) was dead

When I open the coop door there was the roo mounting her. It looks like her neck is snapped. There goes my breeding program! I'm so upset I don't even know what to do right now. I did get 3 pullet eggs from her over the last week. I came in and immediately put them in the incubator, I was going to wait for larger eggs. Just a really crappy way to start my day!!!

I was reading something where they tested finches. The females chose gender of chicks based on their diet. If they were well fed on nutritious food, they produced more female offspring, because females need more nutrition to survive than males do. If fed less, they produced more male offspring. Now, if this is relevant in chickens or not, I'm not sure.

Sounds like a good experiment to me! I know in mustangs they found food supply effected gender. I think it was the other way around in that they produced more colts when there was good grass because collts needed to be stronger for fighting for herd rights later.
