Hatching Eggs..

[trigger262000]

I have a question…I have always heard this, but I have not found anything to support it. Is it true on eggs that if an egg is more pointed that it is most likely a rooster, and if an egg is more oval it’s a hen..?? The reason for this is when people sell eggs I have found that more of the eggs are pointed and the sellers knows that so they keep the oval’s/hens and sell the pointed/roosters. I’m fixing to get into buying hatching eggs, but scared because I don’t want ALL roosters. Any suggestions and/or proof to the eggs..
Thanks and have a blessed day..

Well, the good news:
No truth to that old wives' tale at all!
Egg shape can be caused by all kinds of things, but NOT by the sex of the embryo!
