Hermaphrodite chicken?

Give us an update if anything changes. I wonder if you can contact your state avian lab, university extension, or an avian vet for an opinion?

Sure, I’ll give an update!

The 8 months not yet laid an egg doesn’t count for much in my book.
I have a hen, Bernie, who waited 11 months to start laying.

Stinker! That's a long time!

That’s a possibility. Do damaged ovaries mean they’ll never lay?

If it is a damaged ovary then no she won’t lay. So hopefully she is just slow maturing

My pullet hasn't layed in over a week. She must be a hermaphrodite chucked turning into a rooster.

I vote not a BSL too. It's common for chicks to get mixed up. Looks just like my English cuckoo Marans.

Wow! That’s a slow poke.

I hope so too.

Thank you. I had my doubts about it being BSL also.
