WOW! That is REALLY neat! It looks Split right down the middle ... like you took 2 different chickens, cut them in half long way and glued the different halves back together. So cool! I love the 2 different feet too!

My androgenous chicken has hackles on the right side and posture of a hen, but a longer tail. I was beginning to think it was a he but then the huge double yolked eggs started to appear every couple of days. I will name her/him Pat.I've been wondering about Jo every since she was a young thing... I have never been able to figure out what kind of chicken she is, although I had assumed she was a pullet as that's how she was sold to me. A friend here on BYC told me I had a rooster, and yet, he was still one of the strangest chicks she'd ever seen, from his irregular feathering down to his mis-matched legs. My friend posted some photos on the Gender/Breed section and a tentative consensus has been formed that I may have a chimera on my hands. I've been taking photos of my entire flock every couple weeks to document their growth... these are from Jo's photoshoots.
3 weeks old:
5 weeks old:
7 weeks old:
9 weeks old (current photos):
I've found her development pretty fascinating and thought this might be a good place to share her story and get some feedback. What do you think? Do I have a chimera on my hands?
Edited to add: Here is the initial thread that got this all started. Thanks, Amy!
