意大利公雞"變性" 生蛋又孵蛋(圖)

Jenny, a rooster in Italy, suddenly became a mother capable of laying eggs and hatching little chickens. Its owner said Jenny's "transsexual" situation happened after a foxes' attack and all the hens were eaten。

意大利托斯卡納養雞場的公雞詹尼突然自動“變性”成爲“媽媽”，不但每天下蛋還會孵蛋。據場主介紹詹尼的“變性”發生於場裏所有的母雞被狐狸偷吃掉之後。

From Jenny's looks, it is still a rooster, but the fact that it could lay eggs confused FAO experts, and they are working hard to understand the phenomenon。

詹尼的外貌還是公雞的樣子，但是它卻會生蛋和孵蛋。此事讓聯合國糧農組織的專家感到不解，正在研究詹尼變性的原因。

As of now, experts believed it is a genetic mutation. When all the hens died in Jenny's living circle, it had to carry the responsibility of continuing its own species。

目前，專家初步判定，這是“生存基因”作祟。由於當所有的母雞掛光光，詹尼爲了救亡圖存保後代，只好自兼皇上和後宮佳麗了。

Later, experts will take Jenny to UN's laboratory for more research and analysis. And they said study on Jenny might help to figure out the puzzle: "Which comes first? The chicken or the egg?"

專家將會把詹尼帶到聯合國的實驗室作詳細分析及研究。專家指出，這項研究將有助解釋“雞先還是蛋先”的難題。
