Many sperm for each baby!

WOW! This is REALLY a new one... who would have thought! And talk about female empowerment! Hens decide if they are going to use the sperm immediately for fertilization, just store for later use or simply discard it, they decide how many sperm go into the egg AND whether the baby is going to be male or female!
