Back in 2008 I had a LF silver pullet with male color/pattern.

DeWayne Edgin:
Do you think it was caused from damaged ovaries though? I am wondering if there is truth in this claim or just someones guess.

If you click on the link I provided, from 2008, you'll see at least a couple explanations/theories.
Here is another oddity that may be of interest...not the same as the discussion above.
Half-Male, Half-Female Chicken Mystery Solved
DeWayne Edgin:
So i guess if both sperm was male or both was female, then you wouldn`t even know it was fertalized twice. Interesting. Thanks John.

That article confuses me a little because I have read that it's the hen that determines the sex of the chick. So even if it was fertilized twice, wouldn't it be the hen that carried the ability to make a dual sexed offspring?
I have a couple of these in the Silver color puzzling me. They are almost 4 months old now.
