Hens turn into ... roosters
The owner of a hen in England was extremely shocked, surprised when suddenly his head appeared a crimson crest on the head and early in the morning dreamed of the crow's neck.
After 8 months of laying, hatching eggs, on top of the hen named Freaky naturally sprouted a red crest. Mr. Jo Richards, 42, who lives in Saltford, England, said: ' At dawn it is this hen again, he osses o. I have never seen such a difference . '
The owner of this "transgender" chicken told The Mirror that Freaky used to fight with other hens and only "play close" to the chickens he hatched before.
Victoria Roberts, a member of the British Poultry Club, explains this transsexual phenomenon is one of 10,000 strange things, caused by excessive absorption of testosterone (male sex hormone).
Adrian Keep, Secretary of the British National Poultry Club Federation, said: ' This phenomenon has happened but very, very rarely. 55 years ago I witnessed a similar case . '
