OHHHH wowza.... so much for the two week time period!!! :eek: Reproductive Physiology of the Hen The reproductive tract of the hen is also different from mammals, and different functions are performed in different segments of the tract. The major structures are as follows:
  • OVARY - containing immature and mature follicles. The mature follicles consist of the egg "yolk" and the unfertilized ovum.
  • INFUNDIBULUM - yolk with attached ovum is snatched up by the infundibulum. It is at this point in the reproductive tract that the ovum is fertilized if the hen has been mated with a cockerel. Spermatozoa from the cockerel are stored in [COLOR=FF0000]"sperm nests" located within the infundibulum and are capable of fertilizing ova for up to 30 days after mating.[/COLOR]
  • MAGNUM - while traveling through this part of the oviduct, the albumin or egg white is formed.
  • ISTHMUS - the tough outer membrane located just beneath the egg shell is formed in this part of the oviduct.
  • UTERUS - also referred to as the "shell gland", this is where the egg shell is formed. Most of the transit time from ovulation until the egg is laid is spent in the uterus.
  • VAGINA - the egg travels through the vagina into the cloaca, from which it is "laid."
  • CLOACA - this is the common external opening from which the contents of the urinary tract (urates), the intestinal tract (feces) and the reproductive tract (eggs) exit the hen.

Sally, I love it when you talk/ post dirty. :lau
 
you like them to snag up some fishies???

AVERAGE WEIGHTS? Or you wanna pickum off one at a time?

what does that come out to dressed weight with the info I gave you? 5lbs dressed is ok as we like them whole but 6 would be better, breastesses coulda been bigger in mine.


Dressed weights are about 75% of live weight

Most chicken is processed at a 4.5

pounds live weight, and this varies accord
ing to the meat product desired. The
following dressed weights are what
can generally be expected:

Cornish Game Hen 1.5 pounds

Fryer, broiler 3 to 4 pounds

Roaster 5 to 6 pounds

Stewing hen 6+ pounds


December 2007 page 4 of 25
For example:
Crate + bird weight 6.7 pounds
Crate weight 2.3 pounds
Net weight of bird 4.4 pounds
Estimated dressed weight 4.4 x 0.75 = 3.3 pounds
They are different sizes
