It will! Lol. I have many lines... most get crossed.
Sorry, that's all I got! I'm a hatching addict but draw the line at months of them inside!
That may all change once my own Calls start laying though
Well that is just kind of sad. Do they actually start and quit or just never start? I am an avid lover of male breed any poultry because of the bad rap they get and no one wants them. I never complain about my boys and just find a way to separate them if needed. I know it doesn't "change" the sex but didn't know exactly how it worked.I am sorry for your loss!
Bird eggs already have the gender set at fertilization and it cannot be changed by temperature, however female embryos are able to handle colder temperatures than male embryos. That means if you set your incubator at a colder temperature, you freeze the males and they die. That is why colder temperatures during incubation result in more female chicks hatching. Their gender does not get changed, the males are just susceptible to dying.
I am not sure how it works, I would believe they start and then quit because everything I have read says the "embryo gets killed" so it would have had to developed already and then froze.
Well duh me! Plus if I refrigerate, even less eggs will hatch and that defeats the whole point of trying to get a duckling of hers the same color, male or female. IF I even would! Sometimes I don't know about me
