"Hens with large combs tend to produce large eggs and lots of them. From an evolutionary perspective, fertilizing these eggs is like hitting the jackpot."

WOW!

My entire life has been on a quest for knowledge (aren't we all), but when I want to know about things, I really get into it. Wish I had the time to go to university and study my entire life, that would be fun, for now I'll stick to the birds and the bees, kids, dogs and life, smiling. I have a tatoo on my ankle that is the Akan African tribe that is their symbol for "quest for knowledge", smiling.

Good Stuff. I will find the articles and read them. It should be interesting. This kind of information would help a person develop an efficient breeding strategy. After I read the papers, I will develop a breeding regimen based upon the information. I will put the information in my book.
