just had to leave an update on the pendulum method that was mentioned. when i tryed it it said 3 & 1... turns out i have 1 pullet & 2 roos. i thought 2nd roo was a pullet but its starting to get the roo colors.

so it seems the pendulum was right

Sad thing about this , guy was selling these on ebay, yep like my post about the pullet sand...he would refund cost of his cork and string..not shipping cost. Still alot of bull pure luck ,will be right 50% of the time. Thats whats so crazy , no matter the way hang from feet ,or head, or string and cork, or even letting my 2 year old grandson pick up only cockerals will be right 50% of the time. Just because someone gets it right thru a guess doesn't mean it WORKS !!!

Oh try this , put a day old chick down, drop a penny in front of it, heads up its a cockeral, tails up its a pullet.(after all the head of a penny is a male)

Bet some have hear this one, hold a bird in you hand , pull its neck straight , tail up male ,tail down female.

i was only stating my OWN personal opinion / experience. & just because it turns out it was right after 1 experiment doesnt mean it will be right next time.
bit rude to insult someones opinion...

Sorry didn't mean to be rude. just seen a guy selling the cork and string on ebay.....was pointing out anyone guess could be right with just few chicks. Sure wasn't a slam on your post, matter of fact your post shows how some people would think it really works. Again sorry if I can across rude.........peace

Ok i promised you all when my chicks hatched I would try this so here goes 3 chicks dent in on the comb one I cant really feel a dent but I dont feel any bumps either. They are 3 days old. So I will check back with you when they are older to see how correct we are. Also I tried something that a BYC member was told by an old farmer to pick the roundest eggs to hatch they would be girls so I did that one too. I had 4 hatch out of 13 the rest were not fertile.

Cool of you to try that... can't wait to see the results!

maddie

P.S. That sucks that only four hatched ... but if you count only the fertile eggs you had an 100% hatch rate!
