Rooster laying eggs?!!

[aart]

This is a pic of said egg

This came out on it's own, not inside a shelled egg?
Is the rounded white part kinda of a solid chunk or a hollow shell?
The tiny 'yolk' appears to be an immature ova...not too unusual.

It was inside the egg I cracked open to use. The rest of the egg was normal. This was inside with it like a mini egg with no shell.

So there was an egg with one shell that looked normal you cracked it and their was a mini yolk and then another egg?


Did I get that right???????

I've seen similar egg inside egg here on BYC. A quick search reveals lots of threads including cool pics and some videos.

I watched a documentary just the other day in which they mentioned studies that have shown not only will hens sometimes take on the role of a rooster. But they can on rare occasion actually change sexually into a rooster and fertilize eggs. Crazy stuff!

False. If a hen's functioning ovary is damaged due to either a tumor or infection, she will start to look more like a rooster, but she will never genetically be male or capable of fertilizing eggs.

Ah...what about the other question?

hi all. I have just been reading all your posts about the egg laying rooster. I found this forum as i googled for info about roosters laying eggs. I took in 3 roosters a few months back, all look like roosters but 1 i called the runt as it was half the size of the others.
This little runt looks like a rooster acts like a rooster and cockledoodledoos the loudest, tried to pick a fight with Ronnie and Reggie my Rhode Island Red Roosters. He is on his own, no hens with him, and blown me down I found an egg in his house. Was puzzled and thought maybe it was an egg a hen laid before he went in the house. Then one day found another egg, puzzled again, but today what!! another egg. So had to google. It seems although it looks like a rooster it is in fact a hen, the gender bending is caused by disease, cyst or tumour in the ovary of the parent hen, something to do with genotype and phenotype. glad i found an answer. Have any of you heard of this.

I haven't got a pic yet but I will get one tomorrow, seriously it looks like a mini version of his/her 2 brothers, they are cream leghorn cross with a speckled hen but don't know what.
