BarredBuff's Homesteading Shenanigans

[BarredBuff]

He put his wedding band on string and if it goes back and forth its a pullet and in circles its a cockerel

That seems counterintuitive to biology... I love hearing about things like that. Does it have to be a wedding ring or just a ring? If it has to be a wedding ring, can you have someone else do it over your eggs? Else how will you know if the experiment worked?

Well here is more evidence. He went and got two eggs and he did it. One went back and forth the other circled around. THEN I did it and it did the same thing on them eggs! I know you think Im lying but I swear I aint!!

That doesn't really work BB. He apparently got a lucky guess. It is not accurate at all though.

I don't think you're lying . I think it's like water witching. Some people can and some can't... Some believe it's hocus pocus but it works . :bun

We're grooming him as the future of our food supply...can't let the lad go off chasing wild geese I'm just saying, it's not scientifically founded. Go ahead Jamester, do your own experimenting with this and see for yourself. I don't think you're lying at all....I rather think someone is "pulling your leg" instead buddy. It's be great if there really was a way, but for now, vent sexing and sex links are the best ways to tell what you have. Currently NO way to tell before the egg hatches Sorry.

If this hen sets believe me Im going for a dozen pullets and I will let you know if its happens.............Im still alittle skeptical but ya never know.......

Uh, yeah. had to dig up some field tile so dad, granddad and his buddy, both who claimed to be witchers had us digging holes all over the place. Finally, I said that since we knew where both ends were and the general contour, we should be be able guess, eh? 2 hole found it. could have saved 3 hours.

I think I want to believe, but I can't.

GOOD! It's good to do your own experiments! Let me know how it goes

I've seen people do this w/humans also to figure out what they'll have in the way of children-even if they're not pregnant.
