There are certain reptiles and fish that the temperature during egg development can affect the sex of the hatchling. I just did a bit of online research and found that they don't seem to understand how it works, plus they like to use words I don't understand. At least in some the "females" have the male chromosomes but have female behaviors and can lay viable eggs.
Chickens are not reptiles or fish.
The idea that you can control the sex of a chick by manipulating the incubation temperature has been around forever. As huge a breakthrough as something like this would be I have trouble imagining that the poultry industry with all the millions they have spent on research would not have tested this. If they did there should be a study on it. Does anyone know of such a study?

This was my first thought."Startup" makes me suspicious it's just a fundraising gimmick. There have been fraudulent startups before...
