Hello sorry for being late to our lesson. Well since this was a smutty chapter and there weren't really anything scientific going on this would be a quick lesson. In this chapter they mentioned an injection that will "suppress k". All I was able to think about was estrus suppressors and they are usually hormones they can be injections or implantations or even some unconventional such as sponges. Anyway when it comes to poultry estrus surpession is not a common practice nor is it recommended either and is outright banned in some countries. There are other methods to keep sexual maturation and estrus in check such as how much light the poultry receives and their nutrition/diets. I my self use these methods with my current pet birds so they wouldn't end up reaching early sexual maturity. Someone out there may question is this actually a bad thing? And to that I say yes, yes it is. It negatively impacts their health and the quality of eggs they lay. So over all suppressing or inducing when timing isn't right can be detrimental to your bird/flock. Now also they said K was depressed after his eggs were taken. And as weird as it seems this is true and does happen to some hens so egg collection usually happens in early morning and night (manually)(ps manual collection can be up to 3 times a day but requires workers) when the hen isn't aware or automatically where the hen herself hasn't even looked at her eggs. And if there is a case where one is depressed we either give her fake eggs or let her brood some fertilized eggs that may have not had space in the hatchery or let her adopt some chicks. So in conclusion use natural methods when it comes to your flocks because more often than not those have the best outcomes and results.
