I was out last week and came across two roe: initially it looked like a doe with her followerer.. On closer scrutiny the doe had a single velvet covered antler which was not quite the height of her ears.
I am aware that antlered does are uncommon and is due to a hormonal imbalance but in that case why are they able to carry young, or in this case could it be an imbalance post the birth of her kid as the antler was covered in velvet.
What is the incidence rate of antlered does and can they breed?
