I was 50% right
LOL!
I'm actually surprised by the results.
In the past I had an interesting result on a black australorp. She was vent sexed at a hatchery as female, but I started to notice male qualities....sent away for the DNA test, and the result came in male. However a couple of months later, HE was laying eggs and had no signs of being male. Go figure! LOL
Crazy chickens!

Chickens can be gynandromorphs, it's rare but it happens... It's possible she had two genders, and two different dna profiles!

Congrats! I'm sure that makes life easier!

super super rare but it does happen!
hen feathering is a condition in which a male gets too much androgen in the egg and results in female look (henny feathering) but is male.
then there are chimeras-more common in mammals-where 2 embryos merge at a very very early point in development, instead of becoming twins. the cells from each have their own sex-so one would be XY and the other XX and in the merge you get a chimera-someone with both XY and XX genomes. both male and female on a genetics test.
there are other conditions in which a female can be masculinized (too much testosterone)-would look male but test as female, and conditions where males are feminized (too much androgen) and look female but test as male.
very rare, very neat too!
