"Honor", The chicken who became a rooster
A chicken called Honor surprised its owner when it turned from a hen into a rooster.
Gill Whiteley discovered her chicken had swapped genders: She has grown a bigger comb and longer wattles beneath her neck, stopped laying eggs and began crowing. Here are the before and after pics.
Whiteley turned to the internet where she discovered that chickens sex change is a one-in-10,000 rarity: It happens when a damaged ovary causes the hen's testosterone levels to soar and therefore the bird's appearance and behaviour change from female to male (FTM).
