INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE PHENOMENON OF SUPERNATURAL POWERS OP SEX REVERSED POULTRY
M.Th. Frankenhuis * and J.Ph. Vente **
* Royal Zoological Society 'Natura Artis Magistra', Amsterdam, The Netherlands. ** National Research Institute for Intersexuality and Witchcraft, Batcity, The Netherlands.
Intersexuality due to the triploidy or destruction of the left ovary in commercial and backyard poultry is a widespread phenomenon. Preliminary investigations suggested a positive correlation between the presence of sex reversed poultry and motorcar accidents near affected poultry houses. Over a five year period (1985 to 1990) car accidents, fires caused by lightning and stillbirths in cattle near poultry houses containing sex reversed birds were compared with the regional average. Within a radius of 5 miles from farms with intersexual birds the percentage of car accidents and fires caused by lightning proved to be significantly higher (P < 0.05).
However in contrast with results of other researchers, the increase in fullmoon stillbirths in cattle proved to be non significant.
The results of our investigations made clear that the mediaeval proverb: A whistling maid and a crowing hen are neither fit for God nor for man' is still of present interest.
Tot mijn verrassing reageerden enkele wetenschappers bijzonder geïnteresseerd op mijn zelf verzonnen waanzin, hadden ook al eens iets dergelijks vermoed en vroegen om meer informatie…
