POINTY EGGS Are ROOSTERS? Is this Old Wives' Tale True?

We've decided to increase our laying flock of chickens. Today we are taking a trip to a nearby farm to pick up some hatching eggs. We've decided to get a variety of breeds. We are excited to get these new eggs in the incubator.

Final result of the experiment…. The eggs ended up being half roosters and half hens. So it seems that the old wives tale isn’t true after all.

[@ongoingawakening4257]

Shoot. I was so excited to learn this!!

[@andiamador7156]

Funny that before even watching the video, I thought to myself that eggs end up being half roosters/half hens, so just put them all under a broody hen and expect some of both. I scrolled down before watching, so I don't know if you put pointy or not pointy yet in an incubator, but will find that out shortly.

[@andiamador7156]

No one would want to do this, but I wonder how many would be roosters if only pointy eggs were incubated. That was the actual proclamation in the old wives tale. That might be the thing about pointy eggs --- to avoid an overabundance of roosters, one avoids incubating the pointy ones, which may tend more often to be roosters or all end up being roosters, for all I know. Rounder eggs may have a better chance of producing more hens on average, maybe or for producing any hens at all. I'll tell my neighbor about the idea, since he always winds up with too many roosters and not enough hens for one reason or another, during hatching some out, or when buying them and keeping them. Can't hurt.

[@RoysRestorations]

Thank you for the update!

[@donaldkasper8346]

If the hen pushes harder to lay, they come out pointed would be my guess.

[@joanneferec3851]

Last year we put 3 pointy eggs under my broody hen along with 7 round eggs. She hatched out 3 roosters and 7 hens. This is definitely a great way to control your flock !

[@donaldkasper8346]

If true, it is far from 50/50 for males/females, the males are more like 1-5% guestimating. For the whole spring laying startup here is Southern CA High Desert, two dozen eggs, one pointed and elongated.

[@donadeavera9608]

Store bought eggs are underutilized. Hens are kept separate from roosters because, like all birds, the produce eggs as a part of their normal cycle.

[@79klkw]

Wow, I wonder if that was luck, or really the pointy eggs! I would mark the eggs, next time, and try it about 2 or 3 more times. If you are able to do the experiment again, you should👍very cool hypothesis!

[@ajalicea1091]

I tried it and I had ended up with mostly roosters. Most of the eggs that I had put in the incubator were rounded not pointed. For me it was very disappointing because I had more roosters than I knew what to do with.

Back in the early 80s when I started kindergarten we each were assigned to bring in a chicken egg that we were to incubate and hatch at school. Being a farm girl I went to my great grandmother for my egg. She gave me a brown egg and told me it would be a rooster. I have no idea how she knew, but sure enough I had the only rooster in class to hatch. I took him home and named him Whistler.

How did she know. Its spring and i know a couple people who hatch eggs...i could ask them to conduct the experiment for me. Hatch all the pointy eggs separate, see if they are males. Have a good one.

I use this method, to hatch ou more hens than males. Most of the time my numbers of hens and roosters match exactly to what I am expecting from the eggs. Of cousre sometimes there are eggs that aren't exactly long or really round, those in-between looking ones, where you really can't tell until the hatch, or a few weeks after they are hatched.

[@marthawoody1737]

[@joanneferec3851]

Last season I followed this advice and allowed my Cochin hens to hatch out the roundest eggs. I added 3 pointier eggs as well due to the need for a few young roosters to continue the breeding process for this season. I'm happy to report that she hatched out all hens and three roosters. The idea that round eggs are hens and pointy eggs are roosters seems to be based on fact. I'll try it again for 2020/21 hatchlings to be sure this wasn't just a fluke. I'll keep you posted. Crazy chicken lady over and out 🐔🐓

[@Sonnylub345]

If it was fact, would the hatcheries use that method? Seems if there really was truth to it they would do it to get only hens

[@VEERIC]

I also hatched 6 of the roundest eggs, my results were 6 roosters. I didn’t want any roosters. It’s an old wives tale, and round eggs doesn’t work for getting hens. You were just fortunate.

[@reneejmj]

How did it go?

[@sherryk30]

Enjoyed your visit with DeLynn! My Amish friends have a setup much like hers but they use plastic vs. tin in the winter. Im not sure if watching this vid or showing them a picture is something they are comfortable with but i will surely tell them about this set up and offer the opportunity to see. They choose their exposure to electric or electronic devices based on if it helps their lives or businesses. Anotger Amish friend of ours has a chicken house thats about the size of a small ranch house and they raise chickens that lay gorgeous dark brown/copper eggs much like the dark ones that she gave you. They are absolutely delicious!! Im in suburbia and, according to code, don't own enough ground to have chickens but my surrounding neighbors have all said they dont mind if i get a couple of hens - just no 5 a.m. roosters crowing every day! My neighborhood is 120 years old with a mix of original homes and new homes that have been built on the side lots that the original folks used to garden, grow fruit trees and raise small farm animals - they were homesteaders inside of a small community. A few of the outbuildings still exist. I wish it was like it was even 50 years ago. Everyone had chickens!!

[@rhondakingayres5142]

I too was told years ago about the pointy eggs. I’ve incubated mine with this in mind for years! For me it has rang true!

[@deecyp64]

Rhonda King Ayres for me I know it can’t be true because the shape depends on the hen laying it. Some of my chickens only lay round eggs, others only pointy. So makes no sense

[@jneubauer76]

@@deecyp64 that's because in chickens the hen determines sex of babies so if you have one that lays pointed eggs they will likely always be roosters.

[@goodphrase1]

@@jneubauer76 I'm sorry but this is incorrect. You're saying that 1 hen will always lay either hens or roo's??? Not true at all!!

[@jneubauer76]

@@goodphrase1 I didnt say they will always lay hens or roosters. I said the hen is who determines the sex of the offspring which true...the rooster plays no role in the outcome of sex in offspring. Along with that most hens lay a specific shape egg all of the time so if the "wives tale" of egg shape is true then a hen who lays only pointed eggs would only have roosters and a hen who only lays rounded eggs would always have hens or if one lays both then they would have both. Considering the hen always determines sex it could be a valid theory that shape of egg can predict if it's a hen or a rooster as the egg shape is also determined by the hen but imo shape is probably caused by the shape of the hens vent and not about reproductive sex.

Thanks for this great video! I really enjoyed the tour. Yes indeed, the pointy eggs are roosters. I had a 400 egg Sears redwood wet- hatch incubator, but could dry hatch if I did not put water in the tray that would soak the wood. I used a slide projector to candle the eggs. The first week would show a dot with a couple red veins. That not only indicated a fertile egg, but you could spot the double yolkers.

Yes, but some keep chickens specifically for their ability to "destroy" the ground. That is why movable coops are called "chicken tractors". I want to use them to prep the ground for planting. Each time I move the tractor, I'll seed behind it.

I was literally talking to my husband earlier in the week about what we will put on our homestead and how we will have it arranged. I told him that I wanted to free range our chickens BUT also wanted to have certain breeds separated to be able to sell specific breeds, keeping them pure, and for rainbow eggs. Great video! The hubs and I watched it together and it gave us a lot to think and talk about.

What happened with the eggs? Dying to know if they were all hens! Am on my first hatch using a broody and praying for not too many boys!

Is there a follow up video to this?

[@annetteordonez7576]

I have been scrolling through all the chick/hen themed videos trying to find out. The curiosity is killing me.

I don’t believe the myth of the pointy being roosters and the round being hens
