Correct temperature for eggs

[henry]

Please forgive the ignorance of a newbie but, Is there any correlation between the temerature and the sex of Chooks as there is with Crocodiles, i ask as i am sure i saw something about the temperature of the eggs determining the sex of either all male or all female, and here i am thinking of incubators. I ask because i am qurious and do not know the answer.
Thank You

Not really just steady 37.5C.Any wariatons from this will affect time when chicks will hatch,to hot -earlier,to cold- later,and can affect hatch rate

Many Thanks

Nope, wish there was but am sure the commercial hatcheries would have worked it out by now if there was! :lol:
