Hen turns into a cock
‘A chicken has gone through a rare, spontaneous sex change in eastern India, a veterinarian said Thursday.
The bird laid eggs six months ago – and some hatched – but it later began to grow a rooster’s comb, said Partha Sarathi Ghose, a veterinarian at West Bengal state’s Animal Husbandry Department, quoting the bird’s owner.
Earlier this week Ghose and a team of experts visited the village of Kamat-Chengrabanda where the incident occurred.
Ghose said the bird had undergone a process of natural sex change.
“Sure, it’s rare,” the veterinarian said, adding that owner Haziruddin Mohammad has called the incident a miracle and refused to hand over the bird to the Animal Husbandry Department.’
The penis and vagina tags are not technically accurate, but i’m not adding a cloaca tag just for this story. 🙂
