I believe the GP comment wasn't too far off. This article from last year says the Germans have done promising research and intend to have a working prototype this year, which sexes (technical term) chicks at just three days after inoculation. http://m.thepoultrysite.com/news/34741 http://m.thepoultrysite.com/news/34741 I also understand there is no tech used to identify the sex of chicks at a young enough age. It's a highly specialized skill (chicken sexing) that takes lots of training. I think it's even specialized between different types of poultry.

> I believe the GP comment wasn't too far off. "The tech is already available, only introduces a small increase in cost" vs: "have done promising research and intend to have a working prototype this year" I consider that quite far off. They don't even have a prototype to show that it even works, let alone cost information for "a small increase in cost".
