i need to ask this .if it does go to being a rooster the eggs would be infertile?
These things can happen....but bird will never grow testicles in order to fertilize eggs.Male specific feathering, crowing, and mounting hens.

Development can take place in infertile eggs.. however it will not mature all the way to hatch.i need to ask this .if it does go to being a rooster the eggs would be infertile?
Hi there, hope you are enjoying BYC!He crows, has grown enormous, has stopped laying eggs and is now mounting a hen and pulling out her feathers. What to do?
Very cool! I’ve read about this and ALMOST thought my rooster Roopecca started as female. That’s why I asked those questions. Mine was young. His brother Marvin had matured a good 2 months earlier. We had no sign that Repecca wasn’t a pullet. Smaller than the other pullets, seriously smaller than brother Marvin. Small pale comb and wattles. Then one day I was outside and saw “her” puff up, throw back her head, and crow. Overnight he grew bigger, stood straighter, displayed saddle feathers and neck feathers, and a deep red comb and wattle. Hence the new name Roopecca. He was a male from the beginning. I’ve seen the fertile eggs. Being young he was just a late bloomer. Yours is obviously old enough to have been either laying or crowing in the beginning and she chose eggs LOL! Now he chooses crowing.The rooster is about 2 years old, and we believe it was laying eggs for some 5 months once we adopted it. We saw it laying its blue eggs...Thanks for asking...

You should start a thread about him.
Of course it’s nature, not a choice. Perhaps “choice” was a poor word to use but my meaning was there.Pretty sure it's just nature and related to hormones being out of whack... NOT a CHOICE at all.
This IS a thread about "him".
