Anything yet from the bird in question?

It'll probably be weeks yet.
Chickens can teach you patience...or not.

Updated pics from this morning. Don't mind the fact that someone just pooped on her/his back!

Ok, I'm ready to put my vote down as male. Been following along because I'm curious. It's certainly a more androgynous bird than most.

I think it will continue to be so.

I think it will continue to be so.

Are androgynous birds able to lay eggs?

Are androgynous birds able to lay eggs?

It depends which side is the cockerel/cock and which side is the pullet/hen. Pullets and hens use their left ovary to produce eggs. If the ovary becomes damaged then they will have a hormone imbalance.

Wow, so interesting! Thank you for the input!
