[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 299818, member: 1991"] OK, I get that you'll never be able to find out for sure. Just bear in mind, it does happen fairly often, especially with backyard chooks which can get inbred (or the ones you get can come from inbred stock). We had another wonky gene in our chooks - an extra toe on some of them. Often the ones with the extra toe were also hermaphroditic, but we had many more with the extra toe than had the double set of sex organs. And yes, we did get eggs from some of the hermaphrodites too. Marg [/QUOTE]
