Game Rooster laying an egg

Amazing footage! Also - this is a ZW genetic female (like XX in humans) with a mutation for male feathering. The fact that it has the primary sex characteristic of egg laying shows this. The secondary sex characteristic of feathering is less important. Also, even if it was the chicken version of a human with hermaphroditism its female hormones would make its male reproduction partially formed and sterile.
So, Female.

And here's more information about that story:

"Gianni the chicken, you see, started out as female"
"Much to the surprise of the hen's owners, Gianni started to crow at dawn, while still laying eggs and sitting on them, as the chicken developed male plummage, comb, and wattle."

So the one at the beginning of this thread, and the one in that article, are both cases of actual females that grew male-type feathers, so they looked like males (but they were able to lay eggs because they were really females.)
 
Just the ovary....not the rest of the 'plumbing'?
Not sure but I didn't see any plumbing for either.
I pulled the heart and gizzard out with most of the guts before I went looking for testicles. The ovary and testicle were both small. Testicle on my left and ovary in the middle.
