Lewis Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Just been reading this and thought you may find it interesting... How does a duck change its sex? A little bit of Genetics feathery fun for a Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 That's interesting Lewis, and explains the sex change in chickens too, which had always puzzled me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 That is really interesting Lewis thanks. When I was little we had a hen who one day crowed and eventually fully turned into a cockerel and we could never understand how. Interestingly I now realise that he had a form of mareks that made him fairly disabled for most of his life, I wonder if that was what destroyed the ovary?
