Sincerely
speaking, it is very difficult to know the sex of a chicken at the very early
age of their birth, though there could be some machine detection due to the
advancement of technology, but as far as my experience goes, I can’t determine
the sex of a bird until three to four weeks.

Someone
once told me that you can determine the sex of a chick at the egg stage, he said
if it is round in shape it may be a hen or if it is spherical in shape it may
be a rooster. However, I tried to find this out myself by identifying the round
and the spherical shape and notice this concept is not correct because after
the eggs were hatched it was male and others female for the spherical eggs.

With this, there is a clarity that the sex of
a chick cannot be determined by the shape of eggs.
