I know... I was just shocked when I was a youngling(ish) because we were so sure that it was female. That was a while ago though... best not to dwell on those times.Chickens do not change sexes, they can change feather type due to hormone Inbalance but the plumbing is the same.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I read that if one of the ovaries is damaged, then it releases a burst of testosterone. This causes the hen to stop laying and start crowing. The 'rooster' would be sterile though. Again, I'm not sure if this is the cause, but please do tell me if this is incorrect!Chickens do not change sexes, they can change feather type due to hormone Inbalance but the plumbing is the same.

Hmm. Do they keep laying, or do they act like a rooster?Not necessarily a "burst of testosterone" but a hormonal imbalance.
It's not sex-changing though.
