..........but..........wait..........but.......... wtf.........
Um... if it's one in 10,000 why doesn't this happen more offten then I mean how many Hens are there in the world, and I only hear of this now....Quote:
The sex change is thought to be a one in 10,000 rarity, caused by soaring testosterone levels.
yeah, for something that happens one in every ten thousand, though rare, why was this not told to the public until now or why didn't i hear about it until now?
there are alot of things that aren't adding up. also, they didn't explain why it started changing and what caused it. someone better disect that thing before showing something like this.
my thoughts exactly...Quote:

Good point. There are probably about a billion hens around the world, and if it's as common as 1 in 10000, these so-called "experts" shouldn't be so surprised by it.
Also how convenient that this one guy also claims seeing it happen to a duck and pheasant. If it's 1 in 10,000 chance for a bird to change its sex due to testosterone levels, what're the odds of ONE guy seeing it happen to 3 seperate species?? Who's got combination probability formulas still fresh in their head? It's been about four years since I studied that crap :rolleyes:Quote:

What are the odds of the world exploding from our stupidness?

I agree. Until I see more evidence than a rather short article quoting some random English farmer, I'm gonna have to remain skeptical.
That would be something if it were true though. Cuz, y'know, we'd have to force Assassin to show us his D-cups and stuff.
I think refraining from that and just watching Kasimasi is much more safe and comfortable...Quote:

There's not really anything really weird about this. If you have extra amounts of the hormone of the opposite sex in your veins, it does affect. Most of the external features, aside from the "necessary attributes to become a father (or mother), are things that develop after birth, and are a result of the levels of the effects of the appropriate hormones.
Twice if your lucky XDQuote:

1 in 1,000,000,000,000 or 1 in 10^12 for short.Quote:

So don't try the experiment, you may well end up with D cups...
Imagine if it was just that the Hen left overnight and a weird Rooster just came instead? But some Jellyfish do change sex because of loneliness so.......maybe its possible:p
Hey, I mean, look at terra!:D
Things like that can also happen when a person doesn't have the proper pair of chromosomes. I just didn't think it would randomly happen to a chicken, and so frequently.Quote:

this is freaky, what in the world is happening...
