My mom and dad have purchased an incubator and started to brood some of their eggs. Today my mom comes across a very interesting snippet of information – apparently you can tell in advance from the shape of the egg what sex the chick is!

It goes like this:

If the egg is rounded or oval at the ends, it’s a hen. But if it is more pointed, it is a rooster.

Not sure how true or accurate this is… BUT the forum she read this on had several people chiming in saying it had never failed for them.

Just thought I’d pass it on. If it IS true, that is very very cool!
