Bantam hens occasionally change sex, too. I'm unaware of the transition the opposite way around though. No idea why. Someone will know though!

Dispite some authorative appearing websites claiming this is possible, it has never been authenticated.

The myth may have arisen from young birds (which resemble the hen in plumage) being hatched very late in the season and so not changing into their adult plumage until the following year.
