Has anyone ever used one of these? I have been told of some fantasitc results from using one, and most of the people I have spoken to who have used them say they do work. I know all life forms have their own natural magnetic energy etc and this magnetic sexer apparently reacts to this energy and produces a swinging motion in response to the magnetism which is apparently different in males than females. Seems a crazy idea but Im none the less intrigued. I used the old gold ring on a string technique on both my kids and on my sister-in-law and on hubby's cousin and was right every time. I wonder if this is the same sort of thing?

I was reading on a quail forum about one of these on ebay but someone was saying it was not true and people were just trying to make money?

Oh Jamie, not that kit thing again for about £13.oo - all it is - is a needle and some thread with instructons, by saying hold it steady over the head about an inch above, if it goes around in a circle it is a girl, if it goes back and forth it is a boy all to do with the electronic output from the body!!! Humans, cats and dogs came out correct when I tested it on them, but maybe I was swinging the darn thing knowing what sex they were anyway. When I did it on the birds (chicks) I put a very small ring on the girls, so I thought but later on they turned out to be beautiful boys instead, gutted. You need to get 100 people to do it to get the percentage right. and in turn they need to do a 100 chicks to get that percentage right. Sandy
