Chicken folklore, also known as old wive's tales

LOL, that's fun. in theory, it works, because commercial eggs are mostly white and are therefore older when it hits the store shelves than a local brown egg. of course, i've seen brown commercial eggs, too, so....

Oh, here's one I heard from my father. Not really folklore but a confusion of terms.

We're eating rooster, not chicken..

My grandmother always let hens set early spring but not late summer.
Her reason was chicks hatched in spring were more likely to be hens and later ones roosters...
Must have something to do with mother nature?

I read somewhere that people thought the temperature that the eggs were incubated helped "decide" whether the eggs would be male or female.. Boy, I wish I knew that magic temperature!
