So my dad bought two roosters about 4-5 maybe 6 months ago to raise as food. They are both naked necks and I believe they are brothers. They get on well with each other but one of them is a big scaredy cat and the other is the opposite. He is very curious. Anyway my dad let them out today roam today and when he went to put them back in the coop he said that one of them laid an egg! At first I thought he was lying but it was small and warm so I thought maybe he's not lying and it did really lay an egg! Now I'm not sure if it is a cockerel or a hen as it doesn't have a large comb on its head but the tail is quite curved like a cocks should be. Can anyone help me? Is it a hen and we were told it's a cock or is this a rare incident.
We have two other small cockerels (around 3 months or younger and a duck. I believe he is a drake as it's got a green head and looks different to female ducks so the egg can't belong to them)
