Odd Question...concerning breeding chickens

[ShinShien]

This may be a stupid question, but does anyone know if AI works for chickens? Artificial insemination.

This question may belong in a different forum. I'm not sure.

Yes, it's done in some show lines that are being bred to the point of poor reproductive abilities. I've got no details to share, and think it's a bad idea anyway. Mary

I haven't done it and don't know the details, but yes, AI works for chickens.

Uh, okay. I wanted to cross a welsummer rooster with my Easter egger hen, but I can't keep roosters. I have family members who're terrified of them. I'll chalk this one up as 'forget about it'. Thanks.
