Gender? ISA brown

[Crazy for Chickens!]

That happens when people buy birds from non-reputable sources. Some people buy a flock of ISA Browns and then sell their flock's offspring as ISA Browns as if it's a breed. Either because they did zero research or they know better but don't care.

Yes, that can happen. I precisely remember a thread on here where they either got a chick from a hatchery or a feed store and it was colored just like a female RSL, but it had male feathering.

Genetically female with ovary failure, perhaps? I know I've seen that on these boards but it's usually old hens getting rooster feathers.

Thank you for your help.

I don't know....could be. It was a while ago now, and i don't want to try and hunt down the thread.
