This is what I was wondering as well. Or a chimera.

In chickens, does the male's sperm determine the gender of the resulting chick, as is the case in horses and humans, for instance?

we had a hen here that looked like a roo, we sold her. the guy said she never crowed and never layed an egg. you could tell she was a hen but everything about her acted like a roo is that sort of the same thing?

Wow! Thats really neat

What type of chickens are those? I have never seen a chicken like that except for maybe a speckled Sussex but that isnt what they are.. (at least i dont think..)

I dont think so.. I have heard people say on here the hen will decide the sex of the chick before the egg is ever laid.

Oh my! Live & learn. I wonder if that chick/roo actually lays eggs?

Now, THAT gives new meaning to the phrase going half-cocked.
