I was wondering about that as I watched it. I had never heard of that sexing process before. So which breeds CAN you sex that way?

If you ever watch the dirty jobs one, they vent sex some and feather sex others, they do it so fast! An the poo.

WOW -

- those are both amazing videos!! I always wondered how they did that. I can't believe how rough the chicks are handled though. Doesn't seem to bother them, but we are all so much gentler...amazing.

Although I found it very interesting, it disturbed me some. I want a few more chicks in the spring. This has made me decide that I am going to work alot harder on convincing DH I can't live without an incubator! Maybe I will just show him the video!

Wow, those chicks have a long first day! Part of me does feel bad for them.

What happens to the ones that don't get off the eggshell separator? Crunch?? or do they have someone that rescues the stragglers....I saw one clinging on but they went to another scene....oops!
