Strange!!! Did my rooster lay this egg?

[bren7]

Maybe an owl dropped it in the area? Or a hawk? That is definitely a soft egg (when the shell doesn't form

Wow! Chickens do crazy things! Our coop is fully enclosed.

He can't fit his head through to get anything out

Is the wire big enough that zorro could've pulled it out of the pen after a hen layed it?!

No it is fully enclosed chicken wire over cattle panels.

This is still going?

I know ... sorry should I delete it?

Maybe a duck or goose?

I did wonder if a wild bird. We don't have anything running loose besides the rooster. I have been working too much to let them roam. We have racoons that show up even during the day sometimes. The bobcats come out at dusk which is how I lost several a couple years ago. That particular bobcat is now stuffed and mounted.

SO, KNOWING THAT ROOSTERS ARE MALES – DO ROOSTERS LAY EGGS?​

Of course, the short (and probably obvious answer) to this question is no. No, roosters do not lay eggs. Males of most species do not lay eggs, and roosters are not an exception to this.

It came up with the definition for hermaphrodite, not 'himervadite'

Thanks! I simply copied the word he wrote and pasted it into the search bar... it must have corrected the spelling followed by the definition.

Well now.... all the posters treating me like a moron owe an apology lol not really...making others feel bad make some people feel better...but I don't feel bad and don't care. Was just truly curious because I had never heard of or experienced anything quite so strange. Thank you for the link! I knew there are some strange mutations in nature, especially with all the chemicals and hormones they stick in our food supply and environment.

Nope .... Even as wild as it has gotten, I have learned a few things from the discussion.

Odds are that this doesn't apply to your rooster
