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

[MadamContrary]

I am familiar with a superstitious belief that using a red thread with needle can indicate gender of human children. I think they even did some experimentation on Myth busters while the redhead was pregnant. It's as accurate as guessing 50/50. Egg shape also had nothing to do with the gender of the chick growing inside.
Also how do you know where the chickens got it on everytime?

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

Having a different opinion is not being unfriendly. This is how we learn from each other - nobody said “that’s stupid you idiot”...they're just saying this isn’t accurate. That is all.

I've been doing this for a while. You take black thread pass it through the needle make about 9 inches of length then take the knot in the ends as if you were about to sew on a button. Now hold it over an egg where you actually saw rooster got with that hen. You would try this on an egg 48 hrs. after that event. It has to do with physics. The needle will be attracted to the magnetic energy of life in the egg. If it will develop into a hen the needle will make a rapid circle spinning. If it will be a roo the needle moves like a pendulum making a straight path back and forth.

Well I didn't think about doing the chicks the test concerns the living energy in the egg. I do believe I was called a liar or witch. I am neither. But I am searching for others who do this with good results.

Nobody thinks you’re a liar.... just don’t rely on a method that’s not scientifically proven. That is all.

This was supposed to be a thread about people who use it, instead everyone hijacked it to insult this person's methods. It's rude.

Right, but again this is a learning forum. This is how learning from each other works. For example when people talk about DE and ACV solving their worm issues, it’s best to correct that thinking so other people do not follow incorrect advice. I have learned a lot from people correcting me and I embrace it - defensiveness is pointless. As long as the objectors are being kind, then who cares?

There is a college who used it for a science fair. All eggs were correct when they hatched. That's why I do it. It was on youtube

How do you know if it's fake or not?

 

[Emelyn]

I know right. Kinda sad to see that people think the needle thing works

Have read of this before.....like most magical sexing techniques, it's got a 50-50 chance of accuracy. I tend to be skeptical without a large sampling in a well designed experiment.
@Star silkies please post a link to the youtube video you learned this from?

Cotton? Nylon? Poly?

I'm not sure color of thread matters. It is the needles ability to react to a certain amount of magnetic quality in a fertile egg. They have a configuration unique to their sexual development. Galileo had his life threatened by those who called him a magician
