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

This person is trying to start a friendly thread, can we please keep our opinions to ourselves?

And I for one, would enjoy the read!

That's sad . I kind of had a similar story but with a goat. Let's just say the goat somehow slipped through a netted staircase and was dangling by the neck (luckily though I rescued it )

I and sure the cow wish it was a net I had to pull the calf from.

Interesting but I honestly don't see it being 100% effective.... I mean it is after all a 50/50 shot!

I used to be able to dowse water when I was younger. 100% successful and actually had folks who paid me to place wells. I could tell if there was water, and estimate its depth based on how forcefully the dowsing rods pulled. I haven't been able to locate so much as a sprinkler line in the last 15 years.

I've always been very analytical but, when something inexplicable WORKS, I shrug and accept it. Maybe the explanation will be revealed later. Or never.

I'll try this on our next hatch- DW will make sure there IS a next hatch.

My hens are at the bottom of their pullets in the flock integration, so the top hen mounts her sister now

lol it's pride month and you brought up the fact you have a transgender chicken

It's not a transgender bird

It's not a transgender bird

I know I was just joking around. TECHNICALLY she is though. A hen mating a hen is like a human woman... I know it's just because she's taking the position of a rooster.

TECHNICALLY it's not. Maybe you could scrape by that the chicken isn't straight. But it's not transgender. Breeding in the animal kingdom often is about dominance anyhow.

What an unfortunate turn in this thread. Let’s get back on topic.

What a tacky turn in this thread. Let’s get back on topic.

I still think the hen was transgender.
