Rosemary, my bantam mix, has gone broody! I'm going to let her hatch off some chicks, however, I'd like to avoid more bantam mix roos.
A couple of elderly men at the FS informed me that the more pointed long eggs were Roos and the rounded (almost like a golf ball) ones were hens. I'm guessing this is a myth, however, I did notice tonight that 3 out of the 7 were VERY pointy and long compared to the other 4. I pulled them in case these guys were right.
They swore it had worked with their flocks so I guess we'll see.
Anyone else ever heard of this?
