Good question Zenny. I don't have an answer however.

This year I produced almost all males in my cltches. What I did different was cool the males and females to a lower temp (40F) and then heated them up in mid Feb. until the hooked up in april. Heating the males or cooling the females may have effected the sex ration outcome. I have never had all clucthes be all male or almost all male before. So something must have happened.
