Chicken in sex change shock
Associated Press
Friday 25 May, 2007
(Calcutta, India) 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.
"Every once in a while you hear a story about a hen that changed
into a *****. Such stories are often met with skepticism, but sex reversals
do, in fact, occur, although not very frequently,'' says a 2000 report
published by the University of Florida's Institute of Food and
Agricultural Sciences.
The study said spontaneous sex reversals can result from damage to
one ovary.
It said that there are reports of some such birds fathering
offspring, but that most never do.

Perverse AND mind numbingly boring.
That's quite an accomplishment. Only a master
failure like you could achieve such a feat.
*Yawn*
Stick to dancing for your master, my monkey.
