Is She or Isn't He

So awhile back we had the horrid chicken murder. Then we got two chickens from a local farmer friend. This is what they looked like then.

April 2012
Here is what they look like now:
July 2012
This is is Friedrich. He is DEFINITELY a rooster. He crows.


But who is this?



Is it Liesl or Kurt? Let me give you a few hints... 

  • S/he does not crow
  • S/he does not lay eggs
  • S/he does not have spurs on his/ her feet
  • S/he runs away from both Friedrich and Alice
  • S/he is the last to eat
  • S/he used to have a few more tail feathers. All the chickens escaped once and a few feathers were lost in the process of capturing him/her.


So, if you can tell who s/he is, I'd be grateful. If she is an egg layer, then she's a keeper. If he's a crower, then he's the winner. Well, not really. Winner winner chicken dinner!

  1. I've had many of these. It's got to be one of my rooster, Sir's, babies. (Blue Marans,Cuckoo Marans mix). You can wait until he crows to be sure, but I say it's a rooster. They have a certain look, shape, size that the hens don't. :-(
    Winner, winner....
