Birds can have bilateral gynandromorphism. Someone needs to dissect a specimen to see whether it has functional ovaries, oviduct and testes.

It's definitely an interesting question. My strong suspicion is that gynandromorphs probably have an intermediate level of sex hormones and even if the organs were properly developed this would tend to prevent fertility but it's not like I've checked.
