Any other breeders who thread test sex of eggs using black thread on a needle?

[MommaHen1996]

Well it's clear you must of used the wrong color thread, wrong type of thread, not on the exact 48 hours after copulation, the wrong day of the week, in the wrong time zone, on a rainy day, wrong barometric pressure, you're left handed, one leg is shorter then the other, the eggs were wrong side up, shell was too thick, a FM radio on in the same room?
IDK but you surely did something wrong or this should of worked.

Ha

But what if the chicken inside is transgender? I mean, that would affect the chemistry in the blood, wouldn't it? We all know that some hens turn into males under some circumstances.

No a hen will never turn into a male.

So what is up with all the posts saying it is true??

Maybe use a rainbow colored thread?

Confusion? Misinformed? Wishful thinking?
Do you honestly think a hen could be walking around one day and all her female parts just fall out and she then sprouts new male parts?

Transgenderism is not the change of your biological sex, that's impossible. That movement claims gender is separate from biological sex, but they prefer to look like the opposite sex to "match their gender". How would a hen discard her ovary and uterus to develop testes, a vas deferent, etc? I really hope you are kidding.

Point being, you can't sex an egg.

There's new research showing a way to sex eggs, but perhaps not for the backyard farmer:

They develop male appearance traits and may crow, but they *do not* become males.

Honestly, my response to the OP WAS a joke.

But, I have been curious about the posts concerning hens that crow and seem to change gender. I often wondered... is it like frogs?? But, now you good folk have enlightened me.
