WOO HOO close to seeing if the data has any merit. Bad thing is I only have possibly 6 chicks to analyze. I know 5 for sure are good of the rest of my 6 in the incubator. HATCH day today, 3 PIPS so far, gonna be a long day/night!!!View attachment 1274858

How is the hatch going??

Can you tell me how you ran your experiment?

Thanks!

I have read about choosing the sex of your chicks by studying the shape of the egg for maybe 60 years. I can assure you that this is no different from predicting the likely hood of a child turning out to be a genius or a criminal by feeling the bumps and knots on that child's noggin.

Oops, I guess I should go let that kid with the bumpy head out of the handcuffs, then.

Depends...did the bumps on his head point to being a genius or a criminal? If it pointed to being a criminal, keep him in handcuffs and put him to work cleaning the coop.

Well we had to take a side detour here due to a delayed hatch with a pip already started and nothing for 15 hours at all but squealing, not chirping). I had to intervene with helping to zip and pop out. (first time and hope never again). She made it!! It was a complete learning experience on my end. So far I have 4 chicks and 1 left to hatch. Three are for sure pullets (autosexing) and my marans I will know at the end of the week since I mail in the shell for DNA. (great company for $11 does this). I will post everything when all is said and done!
