Oh, my gosh!!! The tv was on where I work, and as I passed by, I heard "Next, on dirty jobs, chick sexing at the McMurray Hatchery". How fun! It was hilarious, and it gave tips for telling whether you have a little egg maker or crower. On the way home, I stopped at my friends cause I knew she had a bunch of chicks hatching, and we tried sexing them. We'll see if we got it right....... It sure was hard to sqirt the poo.....
It's on the discovery channel, and they replay episodes all the time. Has anyone else seen it?

Chick sexing on "Dirty Jobs"
I saw one done on 'How it's Made', it also is on the discovery channel.
For a very short time year ago, I had a job at a pet store. When I was told to determine the sex of about 300 baby hamsters, I gave notice. I would image it is done in a similar way. Do the chickens squeak when you squeeze?
Cool! They got it! Not so long ago, they sent out an email asking you to vote for them to be on the show. I did! LOL Now I gotta find the show.
I did see that show with Mike Rowe!! It's amazing how fast they can sex the chicks! And boy do they squeeze the poor things!!! Definitely a "Dirty Job'!!
totally, i loved seeing how they did it. i taped it, i loved it so much :)
