    Transgender duck??

    No. She is very old and her old mate still hangs out with her. She doesn't seem interested in the other hens.

    Transgender duck??

    Yes, and I still have this peahen/cock. She went from raising babies to having a male tail and coloring. Every year she has a longer train. Of course she can't lay eggs anymore.

    I didn't think I'd have any bird eggs for the hatch along since my tortoise egg is using the incubator set at 88 degrees. Just so happens, I have a broody serama, so I put some very special serama eggs under her.
