It is a gynandromorph, half female and half male and without looking it up I'm 99.9% sure they are sterile. :wink:

The BH side is the hen, RH side the male

HOLY CROW! If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would think that it wasn't real. I didn't know they could do that :shock:

@debbie276,
How on earth does this happen???
Poor birdling, can you Imagine the personality conflict that goes on in that tiny little split head? That's what I call "when Venus crashes I to Mars".

If you do a google search "gynandromorph" you'll find many website with much better explanations then I could give. :lol:
