Kathy! Question... Can we use abbreviations in our answers?

As an example, I'd have answered MF d'Uccle.

Excellent question, let me think about that!

They can, actually. It's extremely rare, and they are, of course, not fertile, but they can lay small, yolkless eggs from time to time.

Not ACTUAL males.

Spoiler: Explanation

Males born with actual complete male genitalia are physically incapable of producing an egg because they do not have the organs.

That said, females who have a damaged ovary can grow male feathers, start crowing, and appear otherwise male, and then randomly those ovaries come back into play and you get some eggs out of “her”.
There’s always the occasional anomaly when a chick is forming, too. It’s possible, based on something a bit like the concept of Murphy’s law, that a male chick could be formed with functional female organs.
