Silly sweet man there ain't no cure for or defense from Kentucky Leg Fungus
I must use my GPS lady and that witch lies to me....send Cynthia directions. GPS woman told me to make a left and I was traveling 70mph on I 75 and there are NO lefts.
No way...I wish for you to meet the real moi...it is a treat I assure you. Lock your coops, hide the duns khakis cuckoos and the lavender varieties...oh and the mottleds...some of them would have to take a Jeep ride to come to Kentucky. ( where is that halo smiley)

hahahahhhaaaa

well, I wish I had of taken progress pics of this... kinda odd.

I have seen ovary damage in long tail fowl end up causing a testosterone over load in hens and cause the to get cock feathering. Fairly common in them actually to do how hormonal they can be

BUT, I now have a dun cuckoo d'anver to do it to the extreme!

she laid well and produced beautiful chciks last year.

this fall when she molted, I noticed a few odd hackles on her coming in.

Here's where I wish I had of take progress pics if I had of known .

as she feathered back in, she grew a bull neck hackle, saddles, tail angle went up and filled in fully as a rooster.

she freaking crowed this morning, spurred me, and then bred a hen!! And when I say crowed, I mean full on adult male crow, now a squeaky hen attempt. But the breeding was icing on the cake.... If you didn't know better, you'd think she was a full on cock bird to look at her now.
The barring pattern even changed to the male type lines instead of the more rounded laced look hens normally carry.

anyway, just thought it was one of those crazy things that happen, and felt like sharing.

Hi Aubrey, I know that your post is from a couple weeks ago, but I stumbled across this item and wanted to share it as it offers some explanation on how hens can turn into roosters. http://m.livescience.com/13514-sex-change-chicken-gertie-hen-bertie-cockerel.html Fascinating read. Enjoy!

Hey, JJ, LH is here with me now and wants to know if any of these cuties have KLF.

Quote: There are three large fowl chicks in there. Blue Wheaten Am X Cuckoo Marans, the start of a Crele olive egger project for my wife. They got it.

 

[speckledhen]

I bet those are going to be good looking birds. Sounds like your wife and LH would get along just fine.
