• Cells – Building block of both unicellular and multicellular organisms.

• Tissues- A group of cells functioning together to perform an activity.

• Organs- Groups of two or more tissues that function together.

• Organ Systems- Cooperation among organs makes life function within an organism efficient.

Levels of Organization Within an Organism

(A.S.Repro.1.TM.G)

– The testicles – The testicles produce the sperm cells that fertilize the female’s egg. The sperm are produced in the seminiferous tubules within the testicles. Testosterone is produced here. Testosterone is the hormone that makes the appearance and behavior of a male masculine.

– The epididymis – This is where the sperm are stored from the testicle to mature.

– The scrotum – The scrotum is a sac that contains and protects the testicles. It regulates the temperature to be a few degrees lower than body temperature since sperm like this lower temperature.

– The vas deferens – The vas deferens transports the sperm from the epididymis to the urethra.

– The urethra – A large muscular canal extending from the urinary bladder. This is the pathway through with urine and semen are excreted.

– Accessory sex glands – The seminal vesicles, prostate, and bulbourethral glands are a part of this category. They primarily add to the semen fluid to provide health and nutrition to the sperm.

– The penis – The organ of copulation. It is characterized by its spongy, erectile tissue. It provides the passage way for urine and semen.

– The testes are contained in the body cavity.– Each vas deferens opens into small papillae,

which are located in the cloacal wall.– Male fowl have no penis but have a

copulatory organ.

1. How long do chickens live?

1.Answer:  Chickens in small flocks live several years if conditions are correct. A life span of 6-8 years may not be unreasonable.   Most commercial layers are kept for 2-3 years.

2. How old are chickens when they begin to lay eggs?

1.Answer:  Under optimum conditions; good nutrition, ideal day length, adequate housing and good management practices, most layers should begin egg production at about 20-22 weeks of age.

3. What should chickens be fed?

1.Answer:  Commercial rations will usually produce the best results from all types of poultry.  A ration designed specifically for a particular type of bird should always be used (ie. layer ration for layers, broiler ration for broilers, etc.).  The commercial ration should not be supplemented with scratch, corn or table scraps because the birds will not be eating a balanced diet.

4.  How can the sex of baby chicks be determined?

1.Answer:  Vent sexing by an experienced chick sexer can be done at one day of age.  This technique is difficult and requires a great deal of experience.  If a fast feathering gene has been introduced into the breeding flock, chicks can be sexed by observing the differences in the appearance of the primary wing feathers.  The feathers on the wings of the female will be a little longer and in a different pattern than those on the males.  Most chickens can not be sexed in this manner.

5.  Can eggs be produced without a male being present?

1.Answer:  Yes, most eggs produced for human consumption are produced this way and are non-fertile.

6.  How do chickens reproduce?

1. Answer:  Chickens reproduce in a manner similar to some other animals.  The female produces an egg which if fertilized can result in a baby chick.  The true egg, the part that develops into the embryo, is located on the egg yolk.  The yolk begins to develop in the ovary and after 10-12 days of development, ovulation occurs.  If the female has been mating with a male, sperm will be present and fertilization can occur.  The male chicken does not have a penis and therefore there is no penetration of the female reproductive tract at the time of mating.  Instead the female inverts the cloaca (site of the common junction of the reproductive and digestive systems) which comes in contact with the male’s inverted cloaca and receives the sperm.  The cloaca is then drawn back into the hen’s body and the sperm are captured. They then begin the journey up the length of the reproductive system.  The sperm live inside the female reproductive system and each time an ovulation occurs (every 24-26 hours in good egg producers) the egg can become fertile.  This process continues and matings at 7 - 10 day intervals are necessary to maintain fertility.  After fertilization occurs the egg albumen, shell membranes, and shell are added to complete the egg formation process.  The chicken usually lays the egg about 24 hours after ovulation.

7.  What are certified egg production flocks?

1.Answer:  Certified egg production flocks are those flocks that comply with the guidelines established by the United Egg Producers organization.  To be certified, flocks must meet requirements in housing and cage space allowance, beak trimming, molting, transportation and handling.
