[Miami Leghorn]

No, I wasn't joking. Don't understand how you thought I was.

There's alot of kooky people out there.

I can be silly too sometimes, but I keep that in the Random Ramblings section.

Duly noted.
But people say what they say where they say.

I've successfully inseminated the EE hen today thanks to the answer I was given, earlier.
Was definitely a faster process, then having the rooster(s) in with the hen.

Please let us know if it was successful.

I think I would rather the Rooster be able to do his thing. And let the hen decide if she wants him as a breeding partner. I have seen a lot of interesting things in the chicken yard when it comes to fertilizing eggs. It took my bantam Rooster, T-Boy, some time to realize he need to be further back on the hen to consummate the act. But he has been successful, as we have 15 chicks and no other roosters

I will once I hatch her eggs, though she was bred successfully by a couple roosters naturally previously. She likes to give them a hard time(Especially a certain rooster), so it puts stress on both birds, so I'm trying to reduce stress.

Yeah, but I have a Silkie, & Easter Egger I have to breed pure for a friend. The Silkie is getting bred naturally by a Silkie rooster, in her own pen. But I must separate the hens before pairing, to prevent unwanted crossings.

The EE hen gives the EE roosters a hard time, so I'm opting to AI mainly for her for now.

Yes, I am not trying to do anything special with my girls, just keep them happy and healthy. Good luck with your project.

Thanks for sharing what you are doing, I'll be following to see what your results are. Very interesting and something I hadn't ever thought of.

Here's the Roosters I'm using.

And the hen.
