There have been studies in case anyone is interested https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9832119/#:~:text=Sex determination in chicks can be done before or after hatching.

While that is an interesting study they only hatched 47 eggs for the study. It is a good start but an insanely small sample size. You could easily get the same results using a "psychic" with such a small sample size.

I see this is an old thread, but I hatched only four chicks and it is turning out the only elongated egg is a roo!! Now I am fascinated

I tried this experiment with a lot of eggs to choose from. It didn't make any difference.
