Determining The Sex Of Day-Old Chicks, H. E. Alder
Determining The Sex Of Day-Old Chicks, H. E. Alder
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
More than 2,000 years ago people were interested in determining the sex of the embryo in hatching eggs and the sex of day-old chicks. No method of determining the sex of day-old chicks (except of course in sex-linked chicks) was of the slightest value until the Japanese method was discovered and developed. About 1925 Japanese scientists discovered the presence of a rudimentary copulatory organ located on the ventral rim of the cloaca which was present in all day-old males and only a few day-old females.
