- Beltiras 4y agoInteresting field. You have to breed a couple of males to maintain the species. If you were to pick those from the mis-sexed group I suppose natural selection would reduce the classifying feature over time. I wonder if poultry farms pick a couple of the male-classified birds to maintain a stock of well identifiable males and kill all the mis-classified males.
