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:

Temperature-dependent inhibition of motility in spermatozoa from different avian species
Graham J. Wishart,Y.I. Wilson +1 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that oviducal sperm storage tubules might immobilise spermatozoa by providing a calcium-free environment in vivo does not appear to be universally applicable to all species of birds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early nuclear events of in vitro fertilization in the domestic fowl (Gallus domesticus).
TL;DR: Direct evidence is provided for the in vitro fertilization of fowl eggs and it is suggested that the early process of in vitro fertility is comparable to that of in vivo fertilization.

Characterizing the glycocalyx of poultry spermatozoa: III. Semen cryopreservation methods alter the carbohydrate component of rooster sperm membrane glycoconjugates
TL;DR: The data indicate that surface carbohydrates are altered during cryopreservation, and that cryoprotectant type and freezing-thawing rates affect the degree of modification.

Sel-Plex® improves spermatozoa morphology in broiler breeder males.
F. W. Edens,A. E. Sefton +1 more
TL;DR: The results from the laboratory trial and the field trial suggest that SP is superior to SEL as a source of selenium for broiler breeder males, and this conclusion was further supported by histological evaluation of testicular tissues from roosters fed either no supplementalSelenium, SP or SEL.
Journal ArticleDOI
The immediate impact of semen diluent and rate of dilution on the sperm quality index, ATP utilization, gas exchange, and ionic balance of broiler breeder sperm.
TL;DR: It appears that sperm motility, ATP utilization, gas exchange, and ionic balance are altered by diluent type and rate of dilution.

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.

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.
