Rooster with one testicle

[Josip]

Today I butcher my rooster and find out he has only one testicle, he was fertile I hatched his offsprings this spring but he was later blommer, anyone with same experience? I'm planning keep one cockorel will they have one testicle also is it something genetic?

Sometimes it happens. There is a possibility that his sons might have one testicle, but that is unlikely. I would not keep/use any late developing cockerels sired by this bird.

I just experienced this, also a late bloomer. I thought, at first glance it was a hen, upon closer examination it was in fact a cock. One medium testicle, small comb, pointed but relatively short hackle and saddle feathers. He was still acting cocky, night owl, always last to enter the coop, if ever. I thought maybe it could’ve been a hen with a reproductive organ issue.
