| | Chicken |
 | | In modern agriculture, "free-range" chickens are given a sizable area to move around in, while other chickens are raised in close quarters in "concentrated animal feeding operations" or "factory farms". | | | For farming, native (Roman) chickens are to be preferred, or a cross between native hens and Greek cocks. | | | Parboiled barley increases their fertility; this should be mixed with alfalfa leaves and seeds, or vetches or millet if alfalfa is not at hand. |

| | The Art of Chicken Sexing |
| | Expert chick sexers are able to quickly and reliably determine the sex of day-old chicks on the basis of very subtle perceptual cues. | | | Granted, it takes people a lot of time and effort to learn to identify birds by jizz or reliably sex chicks, they are highly accurate, can generally reach a decision quickly (in the case of chicken sexers, at the rate of over 1000 chicks per hour) and do so subconsciously. | | | Enter the Zen-Nippon Chick Sexing School, which began two-year courses training people to accurately discriminate the sex of day-old chicks on the basis of very subtle cues. |

| | Chicken sexer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Chicken sexing is practised mostly by large commercial hatcheries, who have two different feeding programmes, one for the females who are destined to lay eggs for commercial sale, and the others for the males, most of whom will be fattened up for sale as meat. | | | In the factory farm that produces eggs, males are unwanted; for meat production, separate male and female lines for breeding are maintained to produce the hybrid birds that are sold for the table, and chicks of the wrong sex in either line are unwanted. | | | The chicken sexer puts the chicken hatchlings on the appropriate track early, enabling those chickens to receive optimal nourishment for their likely commercial role from an early age. |

| | Food Facts & Trivia: Chicken |
| | The chicken is a descendant of the Southeast Asian red jungle fowl first domesticated in India around 2000 B.C. Most of the birds raised for meat in America today are from the Cornish (a British breed) and the White Rock (a breed developed in New England). | | | A typical chicken sexer examines 1,000 chicks per hour, 80,000 per day, with 99% accuracy. | | | The type of feed, the chicken's metabolism and its breed can account for the variation in color. |

| | Hall benefits from strong business ties with Japanese firms - gainesvilletimes.com |
| | Good chicken farming meant that the male and female chicks had to be separated early in life. | | | And a Japanese gentleman, who was a licensed chicken sexer, could separate the chicks only hours after hatching. | | | Hundreds of hens needed only a handful of roosters to be used for breeding stock and lay eggs for more chicks. |

| | Occupation: Chicken sexer |
| | Sorting the boys from the girls is crucial to determining the feed and the fate of the birds, thus vital to the economics of the farm, but it is no easy task. | | | But as the thousands of fluffy chicks break out of their eggs, producers of what has become recognised as the world's best and most expensive poultry need to know which are pullets (females) and which are cockerels (males). | | | The method first practised in Japan some 80 years ago enabled the two to sex several thousand chicks within the space of a few hours with only a two percent margin of error. |

| | How to Sex Day-Old Chicks |
| | As a novice chicken sexer myself, I find that the most difficult manipulation of the technique is evacuation of the chick with the left thumb. | | | Sorting on the basis of sprout patterns is possible only for chicks of specially selected hybrid stock. | | | The sorter must be firm and gentle simultaneously: If the chick is held too tightly, it will weaken and later die. |

| | Book Review |
| | These are people who, simply by being raised around chickens, are able to reliably determine the sex of a chick. | | | Typically, the sexers tend to assume that they must be seeing or touching something distinctive, but tests have shown that their actual means of distinguishing male from female chicks is olfactory. | | | So even though these sexers have a highly reliable ability, they nevertheless tend to have false beliefs about how that ability functions. |
