Game Rooster laying an egg

[Molpet]

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.

Hens only develop the left ovary, some hens due to hormonal issues may develop rudimentary testicles, but Will not produce sperm

The 16 week bird I processed looked like a small br cockerel

Wow! It's cool that you was able to get that on camera! It's rare, but some roosters do lay eggs.

No, they do not.

No, they do not.

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.)

Gianni's not a roo! Just a crowing, roo-feathered hen. A roo can't lay.

That is so cool..and rare! I once had a hen that grew some “rooster-like” feathers and a rooster comb and wattle! It was not full roo feathering like your hen, but she did try to crow a LOT (and it sounded awful). If chickens could scream bloody murder, that is what it sounded like. She would lay the smallest and cutest eggs! We named her
“He-She”. It seemed most reasonable at the time

Hey guys!

As we all know, this is a family friendly forum, and the moderators don't want any arguing. With this topic, please just keep your opinions to yourselves - or share them in a nice, polite way. I don't know what I think of this...so I'll keep my opinion to myself.

I'm not blaming anyone, I'm just trying to keep things calm for the forum's sake. Thanks all and have a wonderful day!

Exactly.
