it means they actually used an endoscope to make sure it was male or female- since it's often hard to tell by just looking
They can be either. "Straight run" just means the birds are not sexed prior to shipping. You take your chances as to whether the birds are hens or cockerels. Theyare slightly cheaper to buy this way and most small farms use the hens for layers and the young cockerels for meat once they are identified.
I believe that orny has to do with birds because ornithology is the study of birds.
Grooming themselves.
Refers to a family of nocturnal birds
This is called the V formation which greatly boosts the efficiency and range of birds. This reduces the amount of drag that the birds produce.
Nothing visible - you need to get them DNA or surgically sexed.
Not sexed. The birds you get are randomly picked.
That depends on the specie of bird. Some birds are sexually dimorphic which means the sexes are different colors. Other birds like barnyard fowl can be sexed by looking in the vent ( the opening for elimination) and observing the sex organs. Still other species of birds can only be sexed by a blood test.
Standard when ordering straight run chicks is 50% male to female. Straight run means un-sexed birds. It is like a lottery, you may get more cockerels than pullets on one order of 25 and the opposite way on another. If your birds are for egg laying only you would be best to order the slightly more costly pre-sexed birds.
Sexed Up was created in 2002.
"What dose resected mean?" "What dose resected mean?"
There is no such thing as inter sexed people. Please rephrase.
Straight run when ordering chicks means they are not sexed prior to shipping. This method of ordering chicks makes it slightly easier for the hatchery, a bit less expensive for you and will result in a mixed bag of male/female birds. Most hatcheries will only guarantee a fifty percent mix.
I assume you mean "straight run" chicks witch refers to un-sexed, they are not hens they could be rooster or hens.
Conures must be DNA sexed in order to differentiate between the sexes. They cannot be sexed visually.
