Rooster Semen Question

[aart]

Some of this is a bit off topic from my original question.

Indeed it is.
I can't answer and not sure there are many here who have the experience you need to tap into.
Hopefully someone will come along.

I'm not gonna inserting anything in her, you just drip the semen in her vent, & she'll suck it up.

The massage method.

I don't have a second prefab to separate him, & a lady, or two. He'll be separated with the hens after the first group is done.

I can only work with what I have right now. My grandpa will probably get all fussy if I get another prefab coop to set up.

The Malays are only temporarily in another large coop with other birds until I can build them their own Large Coop.

I’ve never done artificial Insemination with chickens but I wish you good luck! I wish I could help more lol. I’m sure you could probably find some toutrials on YouTube?

I've watched several actually. My question is at the beginning of the thread.

Hopefully someone who has experience can pop in, & give me an answer.

In the males of common livestock species, sperm is generally the clear fluid. I would assume that it would be the same in roosters. The milky-colored fluid is seminal fluid. (or seminal plasma) Its function is to transport, protect and nourish the sperm.

I plan to AI some of my hens. I haven't gotten around to it yet, so I have no words of personal experience or advice. If it was my rooster, I would likely try the clear fluid and see if it works. It would only take a few days to see if the eggs were fertile.

Here is some further information that may be helpful:

You won't be freezing samples, but this gives a detailed explanation of the role of seminal plasma.

Oh, okay. Good to know that.

The troll is strong in you ..

I am surprised by this comment. You have been here for Many years. @MysteryChicken has very ambitious breeding plans(but has the resources and time), that some people will find Overly ambitious. But she is dead serious about anything she says. I have not found any comments of her to be on a humorous or in jest note.

I'm practicing Artificial insemination with my birds, & I have a question.

Two of my roosters produced a clear foamy fluid, is this a form of semen, or do I have to stroke them more? I'm not getting the milky white stuff.

If you need pictures, I can get some tomorrow, maybe.

I truly thought you were jiving.
Found this.

No, I wasn't joking. Don't understand how you thought I was.

I've watched that video before. Practically all available on YouTube actually.

I've successfully inseminated the EE hen today thanks to the answer I was given, earlier.
Was definitely a faster process, then having the rooster(s) in with the hen.
