BREEDING FOR PRODUCTION...EGGS AND OR MEAT.

I read in one of the other posts...I'll have to find it. Their theory was the long eggs are pullets and the round eggs are cockerels. Care to disprove the theory?

I've seen that before, it would be nice if it was true, but I think it's been disproved. I think the only way to test that is to set eggs from the same hen, and compare the rounder to the pointier ones. Each hen lays a differently shaped egg so you wouldn't be able to tell amongst different eggs.

Another way of breaking a hen from going broody is to save a dozen eggs and plan to put some under her the following day. She will be off the nest and not want anything to do with sitting. I guess the eggs are going in the pan. She was not on the nest today either..

Yes and it would have to be over 95% of the time, not a 60\40 split.

(I just added the other comment for those who might not know why those eggs are no good- cause ya never know and we don't want to see it being said elsewhere that long pointy eggs mean longer and taller chickens, eh?)

Well, you're a better man than I because I do indeed laugh at people and the silly things they do...but I am quite capable of laughing at myself as well!!!
