ubereglu Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I highly doubt it, to me they just look like a piece of ribbon with a silver bead tied onto it, then stuck into a black piece of plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Do I? Not at all They're a bit like the ones you can get for pregnancy bumps .... up to you to decide if you believe it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Of course they work, thats why commercial hatcheries hatch out lots of unwanted cockerels and have to dispose of them at great cost.. ...oh wait.... Its a lovely idea though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisEllis Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Well, I'm all up for an interesting gimic you could try them out and see if they work and then you know if they do for next time...or maybe youtube them to see if they show them working - im sure yahoo answers has something to say about them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madchook Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I have to say, this made me pmsl (sorry!). I wonder if she chucks her boy ones out the incy on the strength of that thing? Not saying I am totally disbelieving of dowsing (and I got it right when pg with dd) but I wouldn't want to base any decisions on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 they probably work about as well (not) as those magnetic thingies you attach to your water mains to get rid of limescale.... i.e. not at all, but then you've bought it anyway.

Redwing Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I believe the sex of the chick is not decided till the latter stages of incubation anyway so using this early on would certainly be no use and thats IF I believe it works which I dont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
