No, I meant actually pursuing other males instead of females to breed

Most animal males have breeding right fights during the rut.
Doesn't mean they are homosexual.

Don't forget about the lesbians

I wouldn't know about that. I learned more than enough about penguins to decide I'd rather not learn anymore about them

Yea... some part of me still tells me I'm wrong to be the way I am, even if I know its not true and it was just the way I was raised.

There's nothing wrong with you

Has there ever been an intersex chicken before??

I just got confirmation last week that my 4-year- old chicken was confirmed intersex after I sent her in for a necropsy when she passed away. I always suspected she was duel-gendered, which is why I pursued testing. See my post #35 for the necropsy results. Big Girl was an awesome bird, and I miss her/them very much.

Glad you posted here I mentioned this thread earlier but couldn't find it.
Will save in my notes now.

I think the most important thing you can do for yourself, is to cut yourself some slack. You shouldn't need to squash yourself into a box, sometimes labels fit, and sometimes they just don't.
Just choose, and do whatever feels right to you, if a label starts to feel like a burden, then it just might not fit, and thats okay. There's no rule that says you need to know what you are right now and never change. You have time to figure this out
I hope you figure it out, and trust yourself in all this.

Very well said.
