yes and no. The temperature will not change what sex the chick will be, that was determined when the egg was fertilized, however during incubation if the temperature fluctuates to much either up or down the baby female chick eggs which are more sensitive to temp changes might die in the shell, leaving more resilient male chicks to hatch.
