Have a bi-chicken?

[NatJ]

hahaha. I knew that I would be labeled a homophobe by someone who truly fights for the rights of homosexuals in the world.

Are we arguing about world views, and calling names? Or are we talking about what real animals actually do? I don't see anyone but you calling yourself that, and I don't see how that has any bearing on the facts of animal behavior. Someone's worldview may affect what they think of the animals' reasons, but it doesn't change what the animal actually does in a given set of circumstances.

I read the entire text and I know exactly what I wrote, but I didn't feel like explaining it. But since I see that you don't know either, like that pigeon breeder, I will try explain it to you!

I don't think you did follow that link and read it.

@RoostersAreAwesome gave this link:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/homosexual-behavior-in-pigeons.1388536/#post-22925384

If you follow it, you find this text:

I have a lesbian pair of pigeons, and there is no shortage of males in the loft. I tried separating them and them pairing them up with suitable mates for 2 breeding seasons, but it always ended up them beating up the males and getting back with each other.

They have proved very useful as foster parents many times, so they have their advantages.

@ikoCRO you have said twice that the female pigeons need to be separated from each other and each penned with a male. But the breeder ALREADY did that. So your solution did not work for those pigeons.

I'm going to bracket this link to a documentary on homosexuality in the animal kingdom so it will not embed. Due to wild animals engaging in very graphic sex, it's not really appropriate to view on BYC. But unless you refuse to acknowledge what your eyes are seeing, you will learn that yes, animals have homosexual sex. Lots of it.

Nope. It embeded. Had to delete it. You can copy the title and drop it into a Google search to go view it.

The video is titled:

Animal Homosexuality - Animals Like Us​

So are you just complaining about the choice of words?
Because as far as facts, there certainly ARE animals that show traits of both genders, in appearance or behavior or both.

Some of them are fairly well known (hen-feathered roosters in the Sebright breed, crowing hens like OP has)

Some are less common, like the animals described in this wikipedia article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gynandromorphism
Yes, that article is talking about animals that are LITERALLY part male and part female. Take a tissue sample, check the DNA, and you get different results from different parts of the same animal.

Here's a study of several chickens that had both male and female traits:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3925877/
There's a photo as well as a bunch of technical descriptions of what they found as they studied these chickens.

Well it turns out that I think I have myself a rooster that is a hermaphrodite or whatever you want to call it it looks like a boy but it laid an egg. And I know people are going to say it's not true because it is extremely rare but improbable and impossible or somewhat related but mean completely different things
