Hi,
Not quite sure what this question means, I think it say and alternative to natural breeding?
There is only one way that chickens are bred artificially, and that is by Artificial insemination. This technique is normally used in the turkey industry as modern day hybrids are just to heavy to breed any more. It also happens in poorer countries for chickens (broiler breeder) as males can be very expensive to produce.
Males can produce many millions sperm cells each time, By taking this from the males, it is then divided in to many thousands of different vales to insert them in to the females, producing a lot more fertile eggs.
I hope this is the answer you are looking for?
