Rooster question
Comments (4)I went on the internet trying to find the name of these eggs and I found this interesting tidbit: A rooster is, of course, a male chicken, and only hens, or female chickens, lay eggs. But every now and then, a disease may cause a rooster to change its gender and become a hen, or vice-versa. Some of these roosters-turned-hens have actually laid eggs! But this still does not mean that a rooster can lay an egg; it's still true that only a female chicken can lay an egg. The most we can say about the rooster's egg-laying ability is that some roosters that turn into hens can lay eggs. This was on a site called big site of amazing facts. Not sure how true this is or not... Here is a link that might be useful: i also thought this was interesting although not related to the subject. Found it while searching the the egg laying roosters...See MoreStopped crows from stealing eggs!!!

Comments (5)Almost all roosters will eventually crow. As you're seeing, some breeds with certain comb types may be confusing to sex before they are fully mature. It isn't helping that the pullet which is laying probably has as full a comb as any young males in the group. You can make it complicated if you really have to know ASAP by seperating each bird individually until it lays, and band it as a pullet, but you'll still have to wait because those that don't lay may just still be immature. 4 months is still young for some nonproduction bred breeds to be laying. Either way, you have what you have, and nothing will change it. Only time will fully answer your questions unles you find an experienced chicken keeper to look at them for you....See MoreRooster Crowing
Comments (2)Was he bitten in the neck? He may have had a fox-induced decrowing. Is he breathing OK? Eating OK? It might heal back, but even when they are decrowed, roosters seem to still enjoy the act of crowing if only a hiss comes out. Brave ootie!...See Moreseramas
