If eggs with a low shape index will be male chicks and eggs with a high shape index will be female chicks, what will be each of the 5 eggs I have here? And is this real?

A while back, I read about another method as well.There is, it's just not available/viable for backyard farmers yet. Maybe in a few++ more years!

That another cool method!A while back, I read about another method as well.
Using a gene for sex-linked albinism, they were able to tell the sex by candling at an early age, because the albinos had white eyes and the non-albinos had black eyes.
Of course that required a special breeding program to produce the eggs for sexing/hatching.
The more recent ones in those links are meant to be applied to chickens of all breeds and colors, which makes them much more useful.
