Actually, there was a study and the hens that change to roosters fertilized hens, and those fertilized eggs hatched. I'll try and find the article.

Yup, that for sure is clear. No clue how the chicken managed to hatch eggs. Somehow a rooster had to have mated with her, or somebody slipped fertilized eggs under her.

Is it some sorta miracle that these two chicks just hatched then?

No. You may not have noticed it, but somehow a rooster got to her, or somebody put fertilized eggs under her. Are those the only two chickens you have? Do they free range?

i think the most logical explanation is that a feral rooster or possibly someones escaped rooster came by but it is possible someone put them under her

Waiting on the article. Hens that change gender appearance do so because of ovarian tumors. They do not/can not grow testicles; therefore, they remain unable to produce sperm.

Trust me we have no other chickens around my street
