whose the daddy

If you put two roosters with one hen will
each egg over the next few days have different
fathers?
Not that I would put one little girl with two
boys.
But I was curious as to if two roosters can
both father chicks with the same hen.

Karona,

Here's what one study has come up with. I heard it on CBC a few months ago: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I remember reading somewhere that a hen has the power to push out sperm of a rooster she doesn't like or hold in sperm from a rooster she likes...

eta: cool link Chicory!

I read that too but what if she like both roosters!!??

Yes, she can have chicks by different fathers - if she keeps the sperm, my guess is that it's random as to which fertilises on a given day. And even if she ejects one guy's, there's always a few little wrigglers that manage to stand their ground. Sneaky things, sperm.
