I think I am going to stick with ordering the sex I want from MPC and let their experts tell.
LOL

I heard chicken Sexers earn 60K a year! I bet it is more complicated than holding a chick by the scruff of its fluff!

That actually worked for me! I tested it on 3 chickens and the two that layed down and stayed pretty still turned out being girls and the one that struggled to get free turned out to be a rooster! I wouldn't rely on it but it worked for me

I actually like to use a pendulum...
Its quiet accurate. When my friends dog had pups,(i was there), I used the pendulum to guess the genders. 4 out of 5, I was correct! YAY!

I always heard it the other way. Hens lift their legs while cocks hang low.
