The act of mating in poultry, also known as copulation, involves the male bird mounting the female and transferring sperm from his cloaca to the female's cloaca. This process is essential for fertilization to occur, as the sperm will fertilize the eggs inside the female. Mating behavior in poultry is often influenced by factors such as hormones, physical condition, and the presence of other birds in the flock. It is a natural and instinctual behavior that is crucial for reproduction in poultry species.
