"High temps produce more hens and low temops produce more roosters. I alternate according to what I need." This is from an old post here about ringnecks from Steve. Has anyone ever tried this to any other types of gamebirds such as quail? And does it work. Sure would make it easier maintaining your breeder ratio of 3 to 1 on Bobs and Cortunixs.

I have tried to find something on this and never found anything. Steve did you ever try this with a test batch? If I can remeber it I will try it on a dozen next year in a Little Giant and also a dozen quail eggs and see what it does.
