[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 4761694, member: 2805"] Woodsman, you are exactly right.... although I suspect the gobblers continue producing adequate and viable sperm until fall solstice. That's when testes significantly atrophy in poultry. For the hens, they quit ovulating much earlier. And molt will certainly completely stop ovulation, as all protein goes to forming and growing new feathers. I'm sure the majority of breeding going on now are the jennies ovulating for their first season. Not many adult hens will have been ovulating and producing eggs for 10 weeks straight. That's just too much of a pull on their body to sustain without supplemental feeding. Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
