I doubt it. With sprem, there are so many, it could be any that fertilize the eggs. But i am not a wildlife expert. Just i dont think its possible

No, this is a myth, and completely untrue.
I breed doves, and there is equal chance that they will lay 2 female eggs, 2 males or one of each.
Honestly, don't believe it, I've had all 3 mixes when they have laid 2 eggs!
Also, laying 2 eggs is not always the case. They sometimes only lay one, although this is unusual, but I have seen it happen with mine.

howdy down, Many birds lay infertile eggs that couldn't hatch. A male is mandatory to fertilize eggs to furnish offspring. It purely relies upon on what your needs are. Turkey women human beings have as a lot as a 70% of the flock favor to brood. i guess that is time to purchase yet another Tom. Have a spectacular day.

No! They do usually lay 2 eggs but they are not necessarily one of each sex.

No. About 50% of the time they are both the same sex.
