It is?? I wasn't being funny, it's in Dutch when I put the link in my browser. Am I missing something? Wouldn't be the first time!

I clicked the link and it downloaded a word document to my computer in English.

Loads in English on mine.... Debbi.... It is a GREAT article... (bet you wish you could open it)... ha ha ha.... I seriously don't know what to tell you...

I am going to have a talk with my hens about how boys are icky and we don't need anymore of them... Maybe we can persuade them huh?

Ok, I had to have it download too, got it! I think my hens need to read that. Spit out the brother's sperm??? Ahh, not according to the F1s I have, with all the stupid combs!

They also said something about the new hens/pullets were more desirable? Then how come my roos all have a "favorite"?? And they all seem to like her, poor girl. I also have one girl that will fight off the roos, her man is Clyde, and that is it! She will dart out from under, then turn around and flog the tar out of them!

Interesting article though, that's a lot of time spent watching chickens...up close, and personal!
