Female Reproductive Tract
Female Reproductive Tract
The female reproductive system is comprised of the ovary, infudibulum, magnum, isthmus, uterus, vagina and cloaca (vent.)
Infundibulum
The egg begins creation here, staying here for 15-17 minutes and acts as a site for fertilization.
Magnum
The egg spends three hours here in order to form the thick albumen.
Isthmus
The egg spends 75 minutes here forming the inner and outer shell membrane.
Uterus
The egg finally spends the remaining 20 hours here, adding on the egg shell.
Male REPRODUCTIVE tract
Male REPRODUCTIVE tract
Roosters have internal testes and no seminal vesicle or prostate.
Lymph glands are associated with semen.
Sperm travels through the vas deferns and exits the cloaca.
Sperm is capable of storage within the female reproductive system (oviduct.)
Chickens reproduce when a male cloaca touches a female cloaca, this is how the sperm makes its way into the female reproductive tract so that fertilization can occur. ❤️
