There is research evidence to suggest that in some breeds higher temperatures can determine the sex of a chicken just as it does in some reptiles. However, since the eggs are incubated under a hen, and not in the ground, the hen will keep the eggs at a steady 100F and the sex of the chick will depend on its genetics.
What else can I help you with?
If you change the temerture of the egg will it change the sex of a chicken when it hatches?
No, the temperature at which an egg is incubated does not determine the sex of a chicken. The sex of a chicken is determined by its genetics, with males having ZZ chromosomes and females having ZW chromosomes. Temperature can affect egg development and hatch rate, but not the sex of the chick.
In what creature does the temperature range the determine the sex of the hatchings?
Nile crocodiles have temperature-dependent sex determination, which means the sex of their hatchlings is determined not by genetics, but by the average temperature during the middle third of their incubation period. If the temperature inside the nest is below 31.7 °C (89.1 °F), or above 34.5 °C (94.1 °F), the offspring will be female. Males can only be born if the temperature is within that narrow 5-degree range.
Can incubating chickens at a certain temparatue determine sex?
yes and no. The temperature will not change what sex the chick will be, that was determined when the egg was fertilized, however during incubation if the temperature fluctuates to much either up or down the baby female chick eggs which are more sensitive to temp changes might die in the shell, leaving more resilient male chicks to hatch.
What factor during incubation determines the sex of a snapping turtle?
The temperature at which snapping turtle eggs are incubated plays a significant role in determining the sex of the hatchlings. Warmer temperatures during incubation tend to result in more females, while cooler temperatures tend to produce more males. This phenomenon is known as temperature-dependent sex determination.
How is the sex of a crocodile determined?
The sex of a crocodile is typically determined by the temperature at which the eggs are incubated. In general, warmer temperatures during incubation result in more males, while cooler temperatures result in more females. This phenomenon is known as temperature-dependent sex determination.
Is a pointed end egg a male or female chicken egg has blunt and pointed ends that determine the sex of the egg?
I don't believe the shape of an egg can be used to determine its sex
What causes a chicken to be a male or female?
The sex of a chicken is determined by genes when the egg is fertilized. It should be a 50/50 chance of male or female. And in the case of chickens it is the females that have the xy gene that determine sex and males that carry the xx gene, this is opposite of mammals where males with their xy gene determine the sex of the offspring.
How does the temperature of male scrotal determine the sex of a baby?
The temperature of the male scrotum does not determine the sex of a baby. The sex of a baby is determined by the chromosomes present in the sperm, with an X chromosome resulting in a female baby and a Y chromosome resulting in a male baby. The temperature of the scrotum can affect sperm production and quality, but it does not influence the baby's sex.
In what condition is crocodile sex formed?
The sex of developing crocodilians is determined by the incubation temperature of the eggs. This means crocodilians do not have genetic sex determination, but instead have a form of environmental sex determination which is based upon the temperature embryos are subjected to early in their development. Crocodile embryos do not have sex chromosomes, and unlike humans sex is not determined genetically. Sex is determined by temperature, with males produced at around 31.6 °C, and females produced at slightly lower and higher temperatures. The average incubation period is around 80 days, and also is dependent upon temperature.
What animals gender is determined by the warmth of its nest?
For certain reptiles, such as some turtles and crocodilians, the temperature of the nest during incubation can determine the gender of the offspring. Warmer temperatures typically result in more females, while cooler temperatures lead to more males. This phenomenon is known as temperature-dependent sex determination.
Is sex better than fried chicken?
Depends on the chicken and who your having sex with
Can a male turtles gender change?
Yes, some species of turtles have been observed to change gender, a phenomenon known as "temperature-dependent sex determination". In these species, the temperature during incubation can influence the sex of the hatchlings. However, once a turtle has developed into a male or female, it typically does not change gender.
