Just in case anyone likes to review or wants to learn..or like simple visuals.. The University of Illinois has the best Incubation and Embryonic Development Lessons.. I review them often.. they are not complex in any way, very understandable for a child or a hard-headed adult.. take a look and see:

Basic Chicken learning
Thanks!
excellent! you wanna add it to the "bird link" thread?
that is very interesting thank you so much . i had a friend ask me yesterday if incubator temperature determined the sex . i couldnt find out from your link so i googled and found . the sex is determined when the egg is formed . higher temperature only overheats the males when hatching so they dont hatch and die . i also read where chickens lay about 250 eggs to 270 a year and it made me stop and think , wonder how many mine laid . and i was amazed . how time flies and my one hen has prob laid 180 eggs since february 20th
thank you again for helping us all

Temp does determine sex in crocodilians. Bird sex-chromosomes are really interesting. I wonder if they are closer to dinosaur sex chromosomes?
I would love to count my pullets' eggs--but three of the five are now broody! Bad chickens--Bad!
yes i read in crockodiles or some turtles yes but chickens no , for incubator temerature determining sex
thanks
