Size and shape

I have been told that a pointy egg is a rooster and a round tip is a hen . what do you all think this egg will hatch as?
I have been hatching my own chicks for a few years now and I have noticed that most of the eggs I get a day are pointy, I hardly ever get any round eggs.

Hey Desari

Do not believe all that you are told

I have a hen who has always and only laid pointy eggs so based on the egg shape, ALL her babies would have been boys.
