More economical for them this way:

Hard to believe I'm sorry Blujay...no reason why they cant sex eggs your way in the incubator if they have too...was looking it up on different areas on net...and there has been no scientific proof that it works...maybe you need to show them hows its done? :thumbup:
Why be sorry? You shouldn't be sorry for your beliefs, or how you feel. There are skeptics. And those that have done, know it. And as you've read here it works for others. It has never let me down. Regards.

Look at this clutch of eggs:

Study the shape of the eggs. If all these eggs hatch there will be two hens and three cock birds.
The left top two eggs are hens. The other three will be cocks. Look at the shape of your Gouldian eggs and apply the shapes on pic to them. Regards.
So round eggs are hens elongated are cocks???
