My previous post was actually directed at the member who posted just before mine and not to you. I have read every single post in your thread and have also posted throughout it. I am very aware that Vick, the subject of this thread, is alive and well. Not only is physical female-to-male sex...

It would have been interesting to have seen that bird as an adult. From what you found upon harvesting, it may have had triploid chromosomes too.

Your female-to-male pheasant change photos are awesome! I had a four year old hen that died last year, that for many reasons both physical and behavioral I always believed was born intersex. i inquired about having DNA testing done, but IQ Genetics said testing would only determine the most...

Also, he is likely a cross between a Rhode Island Red rooster and a Dominique hen, and that is a sexlinked cross with only males being barred. How the egg got upside his cage is still an unsolved mystery.

Jurassic Park! I'm not a huge movie goer, but fossil hunting is my second favorite hobby after chickens, and I loved the Jurrasic Park books and movies.😊

Meant yes it does prove Vick is male. The member I quoted as to the explanation why somehow didn't post.

Yes it does!! You have clearly read quite a lot in an attempt to solve your egg mystery, and yes the subject is fascinating! You may have already learned that sex reversal is gradual, but since Vick was not in your possession and care since he was 6 weeks old, it was Possible that it occurred...

@CityFarmerRob , Vick was hatched from an egg from your personal flock, is that correct? Do you have both barred/cuckoo roosters and barred/cuckoo hens in your flock? Sexlinks can be created using barred hens, which is why I am asking.

I think it is POSSIBLE that Vick could actually be anatomically female and underwent a sex reversal, especially since you initially thought he was a pullet. As @RoostersAreAwesome said, slow-developing cockerels are normal, but that doesn't explain the mysterious egg(s.) The above scenario...

That's ok Oh ok, yes I've read that article. I thought you meant you heard directly from someone from OSU regarding Vick. I believe this is the article you are referring to...

@CityFarmerRob , you previously mentioned that you tried to post a letter from OSU; but the letter didn't post. What did the letter say? Your vet exam results were as I suspected, because what you want to know is if Vick has an ovary and an oviduct, and an external exam can't determine that...

I'm a bit late to this conversation, but will tell you all what I know. I contacted this lab while my androgynous chicken was still alive, and was told that test results would only show the predominate sex; testing had no ability to show if both sexes were present. For that reason I didn't...
