yeah, I attempted it, but apparently it takes more pressure than I am comfortable exerting. They are so delicate.

I have a feeling that won't stop him! Don't worry, if I see an Ancona walking towards the ocean I will stop him and let you know I got him! Lol

You find there little private parts and put pressure pulling out and pushing in. If a little thing pops out it's a boy. We took ares into the woman at the farm store here to do it. You can kill them if you push to hard. I wouldn't do it unless I knew what I was doing.
