There is actually quite a bit of documentation about female birds basically becoming male. In a nutshell, birds only produce eggs from one ovary. If that ovary becomes non-functioning, usually because of age or a tumour, the other ovary takes over and produces testosterone. If they live long...
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.
The door is a private home. The new building is a caretaker house on the Hubbell property. I'm done with the glass for it, but the building isn't ready for it yet.
Fingers crossed and prayers that the fires will stop, and people will stop lighting them!
Our area is okay. They're was a lot of smoke for awhile but good now. I have been busy with glass and a new Hubbell building. Also did more serama show trophies :)
