Egg laying cockrel?!

[FarmFullOfFowl]

SO interested to know more about the mystery egg

 

[The Moonshiner]

this is very weird.
it's either:

1. A prank being pulled by friends\family, sneaking eggs in at night
2. a hen or wild bird has found a way into the coop and is laying eggs there
3. your rooster has male and female genes, very rare.

Put a webcam in the coop so you can find out what's happening.

answer these truthfully:

• Do you live alone?
• does the enclosure have a roof? send pics of setup.
• Does the rooster crow? Does he act like a hen?

Or
4. The OP is trying to prank us.

I’m invested in this

Your roo has all the male feathers but looks very plump for a roo. Much like a hen. Take him to an aviary vet and ask them??

I have two thoughts. 1 someone is putting a egg in his seep place, or 2 your rooster may have 2 different sets of genes, a male and female. very rare but does happen in other birds

HOLY MOLEY! Mind BLOWN!

I always thought that hens lay eggs. But Im not a scientist. With that being said when my rooster died at age 10 years. The following days after I could hear my hens crowing. As if to acknowledge the passing of there grand old leader. I actually went out side to see if maybe there was a rooster out there. But no they were crowing.

here he is

Do you have other chickens? Or could someone be messing with you? Or maybe something is stealing your eggs and putting them in there to hide them? Just being creative. To bad you don’t have a web cam you could put out there. Might answer some questions.
