quickcluck Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I was chatting to a fellow chook keeper this weekend, as she told me she has hatched her own legbars...... I asked her what she did with the boys because as far as I know there's a 50% chance of either sex. She said, 'no boys we bought fertile eggs which were sexed as eggs, so they were all going to be girls!' Surely this can't be right or we'd all be buying girlie eggs and hatching all over the place! Any one know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I think the commercial hatcheries would have caught on if it were the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Some people use a magnet or crystal on a string to decide the sex of eggs and chicks ans sell them on as female I hear it has a 50% success rate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronze Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 reminds me of the doctor who yused to claim to able to predict pregnant womens babies sex he would tell them they were having (example) a boy then write in his book Mrs Bloggs girl Then Mrs Blogs would either have a boy in which case she would praise the doctor and thank him or she would have a gilr in which case she would say he got it wrong and he would say no I didnt see heretI wrote it down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
