I have decided to try an experiment. I have found sexing chicks with the magnet on a string to be pretty accurate, not 100%, but probably 90%. I am getting ready to set 36 Rhode Island Red Eggs in the incubator and it occurs to me to try the magnet on a string on the eggs. I got a definate reaction to the eggs, circle or back and forth in a line. I am going to mark the eggs with pencil for pullet or cockerel and when the eggs are ready to move to the hatching bators I will put them in seperate bators. After hatching I will again try the magnet to sex them and then just wait as they grow to determine the actual sex. I am interested to see the results!
Any one else ever try this or anything similar? Any input?
