Does anyone breed their flocks artificially? Is it hard to do? What equipment would a person need? My buff rooster is healthy but only dances around and doesn't breed anymore. Naturally he is probably the best quality bird I have so I want to try to get chicks. Any help is appreciated.

Hi I almost exclusively breed artificially. I posted a how to AI video in the forum under breeding projects and it is stickyed to the top.

Thank you so much Fairsing Farm, I am going to try that today, doesn't look too complicated but I would imagine it takes practice. I have little droppers I bought for medication and will try one of those. Sorry I didn't notice the "sticky" at the top of this section with your posts. I was thinking they were posts by Al and not referring to A-I posts lol. That was some silkie rooster you had in the video, I noticed we couldn't see his face or comb, awesome!

WOW ~ "IF" I blinked I would have missed it!
I thought it would be Much more detailed & time consuming.
Thanx for sharing Frances (*o*)

Hey I changed the title of that thread to artificial insemination to avoid confusion, could also look like avian influenza...

So did i spell insemination right? LOL

It's been said 30 seconds Lolol
Luck

Did you have any success skinny rooster?

Nope, no success. I try to do what you say in the video but nothing happens, maybe he's all dried out lol. The hens are broody again and this time I will let them hatch. I'm finished breeding for the season I think.
