@MRXxPOPOxXLOCO The best I can suggest is to keep trying. You might have to modify what you do for the individual bird, I do have some that don't respond well to this, and I have to find another way to do it. Pay attention to your bird and see what he likes. You'll know when he likes it, he'll start to bear down into your hands for better contact.
@ZHREDERR It should work fine. Your little hen will be grateful! I don't think I've heard of any hatching problems from breeding a large fowl to a bantam, you should be able to get some healthy chicks this way.
i have a 22 week old leghorn. nothing comes out when i squeeze, it only bubbles or foam and i dont know what that is. and may i ask, what does that "extended organ" look likes and should i really put pressure on it? tnx
@AmielDionisio 22 weeks is very young, he may not be fully mature. The bubbles and foam sounds like what happens when the bird fails to produce sperm, sometimes you can squeeze urates out instead. You can tell the urates by their more grainy or stringy texture, and sometimes a slightly yellow colour. Sperm is about the consistency of skim milk. The cocks organ actually looks a little like a pitcher spout. The tip of the spout comes off the bottom lip of his vent and allows the sperm to drip
@failefalcon maybe because my chickens are young can i inseminate 5 months old? its a wild chicken... i try that steps its successful but i dont know if the chicken will lay fertilize eggs?
@Neilraymondestefano If he's producing sperm, it should be fertile. 5 months is sexually mature for a lot of chickens, and I think being too young is more likely to cause problems with the hens eggs than the cocks sperm. Most breeders won't breed their birds until they're at least a year old, because they believe young birds won't produce the healthiest offspring.
@failefalcon - It was a real pleasure chatting with you and thank you very much for the info and I do hope some of the birds become fertile too, sayonara.
@failefalcon - Is it possible for a hybrid of two different species to be fertile? I know if you cross two birds of the same species (like for instance a RIR and a buff orpington chicken) you get fertile offspring.
@Hatokiss It's possible. Domestic chickens are a cross of all four wild junglefowl species, and only certain birds are fertile in some of those crosses. I believe Green x Red is the cross where only males have some fertility, females have none. So I have a lot of hope that there's another species out there that might produce fertile offspring with chickens, some day.
@failefalcon - And I heard that if you cross a necked neck chicken with a guinea you get a wicked looking hybrid. They look kind of like vultures, but have 2 sharp looking feather crests on their heads.
@Hatokiss I actually saw photos of some of those on the feathersite! They look really cool, make me really want to try hybridization some day, lol. I think cool things could come from some of these hybrids if someone gets lucky and the chicks are ever fertile.
@ failefalcon - If I am lucky by having lots of money and having a gamebird license someday, I might get pheasants and do more hybridization projects with peafowl and turkeys. It's very hard to do with turkeys and chickens, scientists had success, but the offspring never made it to adulthood.
I always wanted to see how you do it with chickens, thanks. As soon as it becomes fall, I am planning a hybridization project by crossing chickens with guineas or pheasants. I bet having them mate with each other is really hard and they would rarely do that, so thank you very much for the info.
i tried this on my Chukar Partridge ,but it was unable to give me any sperm ...i rubbed his tail for almost 3 minutes but all in vain ...plz tell me what should i do to get the sperm out of him?
@beawdasa You may want to just try again... and again. Partridge are nowhere near as tame as chickens, and he may have been freaked out and not at all in the mood the first time. If you can get him used to being handled, that will probably help, try to end interactions with him feeling confident and unafraid. Remember that a bird's testicles are in about the middle of his back, so concentrate on stimulating that area. Moving up the tail just gets the feathers out of the way.
@beawdasa You can pluck them out, or I usually trim them down to the skin with scissors. They won't grow back as fast that way, just be careful not to actually cut the skin.
@ruff148 All the books say you only have to do it about once or twice a week for each hen you're inseminating. I do it everyday so that I don't forget and miss a day or something. You should start getting fertile eggs almost immediately, and you should keep doing it for as long as you want fertile eggs.
@3031607 Try doing a google search for the pipettes and see if any real stores show up. I'm not sure if they're something you can get through a store, I believe they are a medical item. You might be able to talk to your veterinarian and ask if they can order some for you.
@noori1577 It's very easy once you get it figured out. It's completely safe, just make sure you don't hurt the bird while you're learning. You shouldn't have to pinch hard at all.
@noori1577 thanks you so much i will try i have cock he is almost bliend its difficult for him natural transfer in one day how many times i should do it

are the hens at least taken out for dinner and a movie beforehand?
are cigarettes offered to all parties involved, including the fluffer, afterwards?
on a more serious note...i noticed gloves werent worn. as someone with absolutely no knowledge on microbiology whatsoever, i suggest wearing a different pair of rubber gloves for each...um...participant.
is a drop really enough?? and how many fertile eggs do you get from that drop.. i'm asking because i'm new to chicken breeding, so far my silkies can do it themselves but eventually when I get them very showy the tail feathers will be all over the place making nature harder.. I've just never heard of AI in birds before and thought this was interesting.
@SassyMustang1980 It really works, thousands of sperm are in that one drop. All the literature says you only need to AI a hen a couple times a week, but I usually do it daily just so it's part of my routine (plus if I have to be away, I'll know she'll be fertile for a few days). Show Silkies can be very difficult breeders, not just because of all those feathers on the rump, but those big crests. When your birds get to be really good quality, they won't be able to see.
@heir1986 This question has been asked and answered several times already. Suffice it to say, sometimes the natural way just doesn't work. Maybe from blindness, incompatible sizes or body shapes of the hen and cock, too many/too long feathers, or just because you want the birds in show condition. There are lots of reasons to use AI.
Thank you for posting this video. I have Tollbunt Polish and a goofy rooster. I have set near 20 dozen eggs with no chicks. I did see him breed today and I will test this weeks eggs. If they aren't fertile, I'll try this. I read that one Cochin article maybe 20 times but seeing is much better. Thankx again.

how do you do that with a light brahma (rooster) thats kinda aggressive? i tried holding him like that and he was flapping his feathers around and making too much noise and trying to peck me. which he did, and ouch it hurt.
@angeldoxie1 You'll just have to get him to be less aggressive. Handle him often, get him used to it and used to the idea that he won't gain anything by being aggressive with you. Don't reprimand him, always make it as positive an interaction as you can. If he has negative associations with the procedure or you, he probably won't give you any semen.
There are times when you may not want the hen with the rooster. For example, if you show poultry, they can damage each others' feathers. You may also have one of the breeds that performs particularly poorly because of the amount of feathers, like Polish, Cochins and Silkies. If your rooster is blind or has another old injury that makes mating difficult, that's another obstacle. The birds may not be attracted to each other, I've had a few that didn't like each other.
@eduzigzag98 Normally you should be able to AI a hen once every few days and that should produce fertile eggs. I do it every day in case I run into a few days where I just don't have time to deal with it.
I'll bet your pheasant was fear moulting. My quail do that any time I handle them. It might've been something he'd get used to eventually, but I bet for a while he'd be afraid.
@dnl5649 Unless there's something wrong with him or he was never fertile to begin with, some roosters will still be fertile after 8 years old. I'm sure your bird is still fertile.
@failefalcon thanks, do you think i should do this with them? for some reason none of the eggs from his ladies has ever hatched yet eggs from my other birds do. he is a polish bantam, he's real pretty. his ladies are polish frizzle bantams
@dnl5649 Oh yeah, definitely try it. I've had experience with Polish, they're lovely birds but dumb as nails and practically blind to boot! I bet if he's a good one, he just has some trouble seeing well enough to even care that there're girls in with him!
@failefalcon he is dumb alright, his head feathers almost completely cover his eyes
where do i get the pipet things used to the the semen or what ever that is supposed to be out of his vent. thats weird i thought the vent was the vagina, but he's a guy. are roosters she males or is it a anus in a rooster that looks like the girl part? i'm confused
@dnl5649 There's a link in the 'more information' to the site I bought my pipettes from. Just look for the 2mL sized pipettes. The vent is really just the anus opening in a bird and the sexual organs are inside, so you never really see them in most species (waterfowl are an exception, males have long penises that you can sometimes see during copulation).
@dnl5649 (cont.) The oviduct and the colon sort of meet, like two rivers becoming one, in the hen near the vent opening. In the rooster, you'll see a tiny bump that is probably more of a guide for the semen than a penis, but the testes are in the chest of the bird, almost right below the shoulders. That's why you stroke the bird's back during AI, you're stimulating his testes. Poop, eggs and sperm come out of one hole in birds, all the plumbing is just inside where you'll likely never see it.
oh by the way, do you know how many days for the semen to take effect and be fertile for eggs? e.g. how many days after can the hen lays fertile egg with his semen?
I've had them fertile just a couple days after successful insemination. The trick is making sure you're successful, white and watery urates looks a lot like semen sometimes.
It's really helpful when you have a rooster that's either much bigger or much smaller than the hens. It's helped me in one of my crossbreeding projects just this last year.
Hi am planning to do AI for my wild birds..is it the same procedure? do you use extender for semen? How do you know the chicken/bird are ready for AI?
What species of wild birds? Do you mean wild waterfowl or pheasants? Theoretically, it should be the same. I believe it's the same thing for turkeys as it is for chickens, there's just a size difference, but all the organs are in the same place. I can't say as I've ever heard of anyone doing this for sparrows or crows or parrots, but I know people have used it for quail, pheasants and waterfowl. There isn't any extender, which is why it's important to inseminate the hen immediately after
semen collection. You should be able to inseminate a bird any time, regardless of whether they're laying or not, however it's a waste of effort if you expect they won't be laying for over a week. I guess if you're going for a seasonal layer, like some ducks can be, you might start insemination at the earliest the birds might naturally nest, and continue until all eggs are laid.
Hi Am Planning to do AI for African Grey Parrot for the start and have some carolina ducks for practice..eventually my plan is to have AI Hyacinth Macaw.
That would be really cool if you're successful. I hope you let me know, I bet for some threatened and endangered species, especially those that normally pair for life, AI could be a real breakthrough for genetic diversity.
All the literature says the cock should be separated from the hen, but be able to see her, so that he doesn't waste his semen with unsuccessful matings. However, I've AI'd with two cocks who lived with their hens and they still had plenty of semen for me to collect. These were both birds who tended to 'miss' when they bred their hens. Since you're essentially experimenting on birds that are normally good at breeding (carolina ducks) I would recommend separating them so you
It's done in a lot of domestic animals, including dogs, horses and cattle. It's also essential if you want to continue eating any poultry from the poultry industry instead of buying from your local heritage breed farmers as the commercial strains of chickens and turkeys are unable to mate naturally. The males are simply too big and poorly shaped to successfully mount the females.
informative! this helps alot! cause i have a rooster and it got sick and recovered but booth eyes goes blind. i have a question, how many times should this method in a day? and how long would it takes the hen lays a fertilized eggs? and where could i buy this pipettes?
If you do it once a day per roo, that'll be plenty. The hen should start laying fertile eggs after a few days of AI. I have a link in the more information section next to the video that should bring you to a site to buy the pipettes from.
The 1.3 ml pipettes are the ones I use, much bigger and you'll have a hard time sucking up the sometimes tiny amount of semen. You should plan to inseminate your hen immediately after collection, the semen starts to die once it's left the cock's body. As far as I know, there's no way to inject it into an egg that already has a shell. I'm sure if anyone *can* do that, they have a sterile lab and hugely expensive equipment.
For a variety of reasons. The cock might be an old bird, so it's important to make sure you have every chance at fertility and you don't lose any semen in the feathers or because he just isn't interested in mating that day. You might have birds that you plan to show, in which case mating naturally will ruin their feathers for that entire year. Certain breeds have especially abundant or long rump feathers and semen gets lost in them, never making it to the hen's eggs.
Or you could have cocks that aren't very good at their job because it's not the right time of year, they don't like their housing, the hen is mean and won't let them, etc. LOTS of reasons!
Oh okay, I remember seeing this turkey farm on You Tube once and it was horrible the way they were treating them especially the females. They didnt place the semin on the bird's vent like you did they inserted a long plastic tube. It really hurt the birds.
Why couldnt they have done it the way you did in this video?
They could've. All birds work essentially the same way, so the hens will all respond the same when semen is dropped on their vent. They probably just don't do it that way because it's not the way they learned how to do it. What few old books mention AI describe a method where the semen is given to the hen through a tube like you describe with the turkeys.
Great video. I have been looking for someone to show me this for a long time. First attempt was a success and I found the older males were much easier to collect from. I breed and show silkies and the fancier the males get it seems the less interest they have in the girls. Thanks for taking the time to show others!
excellent video, really helpful. i'm a student doing studies on livestock, specializing in poultry, and it was really difficult for me to get any help regarding a.i in poultry, 10x alot, btw those are o.e.g aren't they ?
Cubalaya and Serama, actually. Both 'game' as far as I'm concerned, even if they aren't bred for it. I don't know why it's so hard to find anything about poultry AI, it seems like half the people breeding know how to do it, just no one shares.
You can do it once a day, all the old breeders say the roo won't give you more than once a day. They won't give you anything if they're with another bird and mounting that bird, even another rooster. The hens are supposed to be fertile for a couple days after you inseminate, but I usually do the same hen every day.
do u know when the hens will lay fertil eggs? will she start 2 lay on top of her eggs and be a mother pretty soon? & i tried it 2 day & IT WORKED!!!! I'm happy!!!! thanks for da inside tip!!!! its because i have a rooster that cut his tendons & couldnt breed & ppl tell me 2 kill em but he is a very expensive rooster. So thnx 4 tip!!!!!
My girls start giving fertile eggs after just a couple days. It's not always 100% fertility, how fertile your roo is still makes a difference. I usually use an incubator to hatch my eggs, but if a hen will set her own, she should start setting after she has a clutch of maybe 8 or 10 eggs. I bet you have games, and they're good setters and mothers, so you should have no problem letting her brood her own eggs.

@Neilraymondestefano If he's producing sperm, it should be fertile. 5 months is sexually mature for a lot of chickens, and I think being too young is more likely to cause problems with the hens eggs than the cocks sperm. Most breeders won't breed their birds until they're at least a year old, because they believe young birds won't produce the healthiest offspring.

angeldoxie1 1 year ago
@angeldoxie1 You'll just have to get him to be less aggressive. Handle him often, get him used to it and used to the idea that he won't gain anything by being aggressive with you. Don't reprimand him, always make it as positive an interaction as you can. If he has negative associations with the procedure or you, he probably won't give you any semen.

What's the gain in this procedure? Why not just put the hen with the rooster?

@JustWonderingHowTo
There are times when you may not want the hen with the rooster. For example, if you show poultry, they can damage each others' feathers. You may also have one of the breeds that performs particularly poorly because of the amount of feathers, like Polish, Cochins and Silkies. If your rooster is blind or has another old injury that makes mating difficult, that's another obstacle. The birds may not be attracted to each other, I've had a few that didn't like each other.

and how much will it get the chicken to have babbies
eduzigzag98 1 year ago
@eduzigzag98 Normally you should be able to AI a hen once every few days and that should produce fertile eggs. I do it every day in case I run into a few days where I just don't have time to deal with it.

I'll bet your pheasant was fear moulting. My quail do that any time I handle them. It might've been something he'd get used to eventually, but I bet for a while he'd be afraid.

dnl5649 1 year ago
@dnl5649 Unless there's something wrong with him or he was never fertile to begin with, some roosters will still be fertile after 8 years old. I'm sure your bird is still fertile.
failefalcon 1 year ago
@failefalcon thanks, do you think i should do this with them? for some reason none of the eggs from his ladies has ever hatched yet eggs from my other birds do. he is a polish bantam, he's real pretty. his ladies are polish frizzle bantams
dnl5649 1 year ago
@dnl5649 Oh yeah, definitely try it. I've had experience with Polish, they're lovely birds but dumb as nails and practically blind to boot! I bet if he's a good one, he just has some trouble seeing well enough to even care that there're girls in with him!
failefalcon 1 year ago
@failefalcon he is dumb alright, his head feathers almost completely cover his eyes
where do i get the pipet things used to the the semen or what ever that is supposed to be out of his vent. thats weird i thought the vent was the vagina, but he's a guy. are roosters she males or is it a anus in a rooster that looks like the girl part? i'm confused
dnl5649 1 year ago
@dnl5649 There's a link in the 'more information' to the site I bought my pipettes from. Just look for the 2mL sized pipettes. The vent is really just the anus opening in a bird and the sexual organs are inside, so you never really see them in most species (waterfowl are an exception, males have long penises that you can sometimes see during copulation).
failefalcon 1 year ago
@dnl5649 (cont.) The oviduct and the colon sort of meet, like two rivers becoming one, in the hen near the vent opening. In the rooster, you'll see a tiny bump that is probably more of a guide for the semen than a penis, but the testes are in the chest of the bird, almost right below the shoulders. That's why you stroke the bird's back during AI, you're stimulating his testes. Poop, eggs and sperm come out of one hole in birds, all the plumbing is just inside where you'll likely never see it.

oh by the way, do you know how many days for the semen to take effect and be fertile for eggs? e.g. how many days after can the hen lays fertile egg with his semen?
hackalabac 2 years ago
I've had them fertile just a couple days after successful insemination. The trick is making sure you're successful, white and watery urates looks a lot like semen sometimes.

It's really helpful when you have a rooster that's either much bigger or much smaller than the hens. It's helped me in one of my crossbreeding projects just this last year.

Hi am planning to do AI for my wild birds..is it the same procedure? do you use extender for semen? How do you know the chicken/bird are ready for AI?
cat12345678t 2 years ago
What species of wild birds? Do you mean wild waterfowl or pheasants? Theoretically, it should be the same. I believe it's the same thing for turkeys as it is for chickens, there's just a size difference, but all the organs are in the same place. I can't say as I've ever heard of anyone doing this for sparrows or crows or parrots, but I know people have used it for quail, pheasants and waterfowl. There isn't any extender, which is why it's important to inseminate the hen immediately after
failefalcon 2 years ago
semen collection. You should be able to inseminate a bird any time, regardless of whether they're laying or not, however it's a waste of effort if you expect they won't be laying for over a week. I guess if you're going for a seasonal layer, like some ducks can be, you might start insemination at the earliest the birds might naturally nest, and continue until all eggs are laid.

That would be really cool if you're successful. I hope you let me know, I bet for some threatened and endangered species, especially those that normally pair for life, AI could be a real breakthrough for genetic diversity.

@failefalcon Do i need to seperate the Cock to the hen after i insemanate? thank you very much for your great help will let you know the outcome.
cat12345678t 2 years ago
All the literature says the cock should be separated from the hen, but be able to see her, so that he doesn't waste his semen with unsuccessful matings. However, I've AI'd with two cocks who lived with their hens and they still had plenty of semen for me to collect. These were both birds who tended to 'miss' when they bred their hens. Since you're essentially experimenting on birds that are normally good at breeding (carolina ducks) I would recommend separating them so you

isnt this against nature and just against morals?
ClaudetteNicole 2 years ago
It's done in a lot of domestic animals, including dogs, horses and cattle. It's also essential if you want to continue eating any poultry from the poultry industry instead of buying from your local heritage breed farmers as the commercial strains of chickens and turkeys are unable to mate naturally. The males are simply too big and poorly shaped to successfully mount the females.

tamsmc 2 years ago
If you do it once a day per roo, that'll be plenty. The hen should start laying fertile eggs after a few days of AI. I have a link in the more information section next to the video that should bring you to a site to buy the pipettes from.
failefalcon 2 years ago
Pipettes should be available at any good medical store/chemist, alternitavely try oral syringes, What type of fowl do you keep ?

Bantams in Cubalaya, Phoenix and Serama. Good to know there're stores that carry the pipettes, I bet that means Walgreens might have them.

Hi there
which of your pipettes do you recommend for a small scale operation ?
how long can I keep the semen after taking it from the cockerel ?
can I use the semen from the cockerel to fertilize an egg in the shell by injecting it rather than the hen ?
if yes , please tell me how .
thank you
arasnader7088 2 years ago
The 1.3 ml pipettes are the ones I use, much bigger and you'll have a hard time sucking up the sometimes tiny amount of semen. You should plan to inseminate your hen immediately after collection, the semen starts to die once it's left the cock's body. As far as I know, there's no way to inject it into an egg that already has a shell. I'm sure if anyone *can* do that, they have a sterile lab and hugely expensive equipment.

zemlianika 2 years ago
So why do you give hens AI? why dont you just let them mate the natural way?
no1horselover 2 years ago
For a variety of reasons. The cock might be an old bird, so it's important to make sure you have every chance at fertility and you don't lose any semen in the feathers or because he just isn't interested in mating that day. You might have birds that you plan to show, in which case mating naturally will ruin their feathers for that entire year. Certain breeds have especially abundant or long rump feathers and semen gets lost in them, never making it to the hen's eggs.
failefalcon 2 years ago
Or you could have cocks that aren't very good at their job because it's not the right time of year, they don't like their housing, the hen is mean and won't let them, etc. LOTS of reasons!
failefalcon 2 years ago
Oh okay, I remember seeing this turkey farm on You Tube once and it was horrible the way they were treating them especially the females. They didnt place the semin on the bird's vent like you did they inserted a long plastic tube. It really hurt the birds.
Why couldnt they have done it the way you did in this video?
no1horselover 2 years ago
They could've. All birds work essentially the same way, so the hens will all respond the same when semen is dropped on their vent. They probably just don't do it that way because it's not the way they learned how to do it. What few old books mention AI describe a method where the semen is given to the hen through a tube like you describe with the turkeys.

Cubalaya and Serama, actually. Both 'game' as far as I'm concerned, even if they aren't bred for it. I don't know why it's so hard to find anything about poultry AI, it seems like half the people breeding know how to do it, just no one shares.
failefalcon 3 years ago
You can do it once a day, all the old breeders say the roo won't give you more than once a day. They won't give you anything if they're with another bird and mounting that bird, even another rooster. The hens are supposed to be fertile for a couple days after you inseminate, but I usually do the same hen every day.
failefalcon 3 years ago
do u know when the hens will lay fertil eggs? will she start 2 lay on top of her eggs and be a mother pretty soon? & i tried it 2 day & IT WORKED!!!! I'm happy!!!! thanks for da inside tip!!!! its because i have a rooster that cut his tendons & couldnt breed & ppl tell me 2 kill em but he is a very expensive rooster. So thnx 4 tip!!!!!
beanerboy57 3 years ago
My girls start giving fertile eggs after just a couple days. It's not always 100% fertility, how fertile your roo is still makes a difference. I usually use an incubator to hatch my eggs, but if a hen will set her own, she should start setting after she has a clutch of maybe 8 or 10 eggs. I bet you have games, and they're good setters and mothers, so you should have no problem letting her brood her own eggs.
