TLDR
A number of methods for obtaining semen from the fowl have been described, including mating a cock to a hen and immediately securing the fluid from the cloaca of the hen.About:

Sperm cryopreservation in wild animals
M. T. Prieto,M. J. Sanchez-Calabuig,Thomas B. Hildebrandt,Julián Santiago-Moreno,Joseph Saragusty +4 more
TL;DR: The ultimate goal is to adapt and optimize collection and cryopreservation protocols for each species, making it feasible, among other things, to collect gametes in the wild and introduce them into captive or isolated populations to increase genetic diversity.

Estimation of the relative fertilizing ability of frozen chicken spermatozoa using a heterospermic competition method
TL;DR: The heterospermic competition assay method is a powerful tool for estimating the relative fertilizing ability of the sperm cells in Rhode Island Red hens.

Analysis of Poultry Fertility Data
J. D. Kirby,David P. Froman +1 more
TL;DR: Hens inseminated with spermatozoa from SCWL males laid a higher proportion of fertilized eggs over a longer interval than those inseminiated with semen from affected Delawares, suggesting log-odds and logistic models may have advantages over the more traditional methods of evaluation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Body weight and semen production of broiler breeder males as influenced by crude protein levels and feeding regimens during rearing
TL;DR: A negative relationship existed between semen production and BW during rearing; however, continued BW gain after sexual maturity was necessary to optimize semen production, especially during the late breeding period.

Possible causes of subfertility in hens following insemination near the time of oviposition.
J. P. Brillard,O. Galut,Yves Nys +2 more
TL;DR: Females inseminated intravaginally at the presumed time of oviposition showed consistently low fertility, irrespective of whether an egg was present in the uterus or not, and normal fertility rates could be achieved with inSEminations intravagsinally at or near the time of Oviposition if the uterine contractions associated with ovipposition were inhibited by treatment with indomethacin.

A Method of Obtaining Spermatozoa from the Domestic Fowl
W. H. Burrows,J. P. Quinn +1 more
TL;DR: The method presented in this paper consists of a manual elicitation of an ejaculatory response which is undoubtedly reflex in nature and can be obtained in a short period of time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective Fertilization in Fowls
TL;DR: An attempt was made to find out whether there was any selective preference in the union of sperm and egg cells in poultry, and it was found that self-fertilization was more effective or easier to make than cross fertilization.

The Influence of Certain Feeds Upon the Production of Spermatozoa by the Domestic Chicken
TL;DR: Experimental studies pertaining to the factors which may influence fertility in poultry have been limited to hatchability thus far, and for obvious reasons such studies have been confined to the female.

A study of the spermatozoon of the fowl, with particular reference to osmiophilic bodies in the sperm head
F. B. Adamstone,L. E. Card +1 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to learn something of the nature of the bead‐like bodies which occur in the head of the sperm of the fowl since it was found in a previous study that they are apparently affected in a characteristic manner by vitamin E deficiency.
