Hmmm... interesting point. But about the fertilization - if the "real" (not mamono) cockatrice does come from a chicken egg that was fertilized by a serpent (so the mother is the chicken and the father is the serpent) then technically she's related to both of them the same way - each half of her genetic code comes from each one. So the only way to explain why she still is more related to her mother is to say that she's a female, but it's not really true. All chromosomes, x/y included, is mafe by 2 halves, each comes from each parent. So gender shouldn't make one more related to one parent over the other.
