Rooster laying eggs

[MysteryChicken]

It has all the signs of a rooster the beard, the saddle feathers. The attitude attacks everything Spurs things and it is my only chicken that I own. It's an indoor chicken and one day we left for the whole day he was in his cage and I came back and there was an egg in it

Beard isn't related to gender, it's a genetic trait.
Her saddles are rounded, not long, & pointy.
Hens/pullets can display everything you mentioned.

Chickens are flock animals, & don't do well by themselves.

I don’t see any signs of male specific feathering. Congrats on your lovely pullet!

Here’s an example of what male feathering would look like.

@My Roo Boo That is 100% a hen. Its comb isn't even red!

First of all having a beard is not a rooster thing, that depends on the breed of chicken, not the sex of the chicken. Second, the feathering on your bird is not male feathering, the saddle feathers look like hen saddle feathers, if you look at the picture in a post above this you can see what rooster saddle feathers look like for your breed of chicken. Lastly, attacking things is not something only roosters do, pullets can do that as well. Also if by Spuring things you mean she has spurs, pullets can have spurs as well, just not as common.
Also just want to add that keeping only one chicken alone in a cage is bad for the chicken, no matter if it is a cockerel or a pullet, they are flock animals. I suggest you build a coop, and get at least three young pullets to put with her. If you are unable to do this you should rehome her to someone who can. Also the reason she is attacking you could be because she is stressed out at living all alone in a cage.

Your chicken has no male-specific feathering, and its comb and wattles are not as developed as a cockerels would be. And seeing as it is laying eggs, it is 100% a pullet.

I had a rooster I loved he was a bantam EE. The hens loved him. 2 other roosters got jealous of him, and killed him. I went to the fridge and took out an egg from his favorite hen, a silky, and put her egg and 2 other eggs in incubator. I hatched out 3. The silky egg chick was smooth feathered, but had a poofy head. And the other eggs were roosters. The poofy headed chick and the other 2 were very aggressive, and especially the poofy headed chick. I got attacked by that chick every day. As it got bigger I decided to put the mean little chick down. Before putting it down I collected eggs. And there was a new bright green egg in coop. The only one it could have been from was the poof. I was so happy, as the poof ran up to attack me, I picked her up and hugged her. After that the poof came for hugs, and not to attack. She as attacking me because I was not loving on her.

Spurs or spurring behavior isn't rooster specific. Neither is crowing. I have two hens that have spurs and one that makes attempts at crowing. Those are not reliable indicators. As others have said your chicken is a hen.

Calico cats are female, except for about 1 in 10,000 which are phenotypically male, but can express calico features because they've got XXY chromosomes instead of XY.

In mammals the presence of a Y chromosome will usually result in a phenotypic male. Two X chromosomes are required for calico cats, because orange and black are allelic on the X chromosome. Please note that this is not true for many other species, which orange and black are not linked to sex chromosomes.

It had become somewhat popular to describe a XXY creature as a hermaphrodite, though this isn't exactly correct. Male cats with an extra X are typically fine, though not typical males.

Chickens do not have X and Y chromosomes, but rather W and Z. I think they have Z, some birds rather than having the diminutive Z just simply don't have that chromosome. I think chickens do have a Z.

In birds a WW triggers a male bird, as opposed to XX triggering a female in mammals. WZ or W- for those species without a Z are female.

There can be WWZ birds, just as there can be XXY mammals. I don't know how that would manifest in a chicken. But the likelihood of it manifesting as a true hermaphrodite, with functioning make and female reproductive systems, it's quite small.

In fact, most birds outside of the paleognaths (which is mostly the rattites for farmers and aviculturists) only have one ovary (the left one as I recall).

I don't know if the frequency of chickens with WWZ chromosomes is 1 in 10,000. I think that statistic gets tossed around quite a lot, with little substance to back it. It certainly doesn't require hermaphroditism for a chickens gender to be confusing.

Raise pigeons for a while, or better yet guineas. Then chickens seem simpler in comparison.
