Wondering how safe it is to try an pop a 6-7 week old corn with no experience.

I guess I'll leave it to the pro's in a couple of months. They probed it in the shop and the pin went down three scales which apparently could indicate its a girl, but desperate to name the little blighter

i would of said a girl at 3 scales any more then i would sway more towards a boy,worth waiting until the a bit bigger then the probing is more accurate.Oh and i would'nt pop it unless you know your doing.

Yeah, that was my thinking.
I'll assume its a girl and give it a nice girly name so its gets a complex when its proved a boy!

if you get to 5 scales that's a grey area.......... 3 should definitely be a girl. you could always ask them to probe her again (but don't tell them it was 3 scales last time lol)
