The egg fertility from offspring of crossbreeding results of Bangkok chickens and laying hens.

This study aims to determine the weight, fertility, and hatchability of eggs from the crossbreeding between laying hens and Bangkok chickens. The material used consisted of 15 females of Bangkok chicken, 15 females of laying chicken, 3 males of Bangkok chicken, and 3 males of laying hen. The crossbreeding was arranged in a ratio of 1 male: 5 females using IB (artificial insemination). The parameters measured in the study included egg weight, fertility, and hatchability of eggs from the crossbreeding of laying hens and Bangkok chickens. Data were analyzed descriptively and using T-test to determine the difference in parameters between the crossbreeding of BP (male Bangkok chicken x female laying hens) and PB (male laying hens x female Bangkok chickens). The results showed that there were significant differences (p = 0.05) in egg yields (BP chickens and PB chickens) for egg weight and egg fertility, but there was no significant difference (P> 0.05) for egg hatchability. Egg weight in BP chickens was 56.87g /egg greater than PB chickens 47.09 g/egg. However, egg fertility in PB chickens was 83.33% higher than BP chickens 71.11%.
