Like how to sex a chick. "You can hold it by the neck, and if it kicks it's a boy and if it doesn't it's a girl" is one I've ran into a lot. Another one of the same type is "Hold it by the legs and if it holds still it's a girl, and if it doesn't it's a boy" as well as 'the pendulum method' and looking at the shape of an egg to tell gender.One thing I don't like is when people answer with blatant misinformation, refuse to learn the proper information, and then argue how it's 'always worked for them'. That doesn't help anything.
I responded to three unanswered threads and it turned out they had already been answered because of this! I understand when its an emergency, but other than that, yeah, it's annoying.Another thing I noticed is members creating multiple threads on the same subject, and I don't know about the rest of you, but I find this quite annoying.
The wing feather sexing hurts my soul. I fell for it years ago and guess what, it's right 50% of the time.Like how to sex a chick.

All of those are frequent examples I run into when discussing gender of birds.
Oh my, yes, I forgot to include that one. At least it works in some chicks (albeit a very few), the other ones don't work at all.The wing feather sexing hurts my soul. I fell for it years ago and guess what, it's right 50% of the time.Except in those very few specifically bred for it.
