If the parents were in the egg type, some of the chicks would be as good and some better layers, and more vigorous than the parents. If of the meat type the progeny would be of a stronger constitution, of a quicker growth and assimilate their food better.

She will be an old maid from choice, and her eggs will not be fertile, if she has the organ small enough. If the male bird has it small his eggs will not hatch well; and if small enough they will not hatch at all. I have found a few cases where the cock bird had the organ of (Amativeness) prepotency large and failed to fertilize the eggs, but the cases are very rare and I attribute it to weakened or diseased nerves; as for instance the nerves of the teeth or sciatic nerve in the human being. Fig. 36 shows how to hold a hen before putting her in a sack to measure this organ. Figure 37.--Holding Legs With Bight Hand and Gathering Sack Around Legs With Left Hand. Fig. 37 shows how to put her in the sack, holding legs with right hand, with back of hen against bottom of sack, and gathering sack around legs with left hand. Figure 38.--Tying Sack Around Legs So Hen Cannot Move While Examining Her For Prepotency. Fig. 38 shows tying sack aro...
