Gender confused fowl

Just a quick post to show everyone a picture of the hen named Lance, Jr. Before you jump to any conclusions, I will explain. This bird was thought to be a rooster when he was a chick given his aggressive behavior. At that time we posted a picture of the little trouble maker on a 10/8/2005 blog entry. He was subsequently introduced to cyber space as Lance junior in a 10/30/2005 blog entry. His more feminine side prevailed as the little rooster grew and now that he has begun laying eggs, we are less convinced of his cock-hood. Fortunately, he/she has become the most sociable of the group and has taken to Heather following her around the farm -- no comments from the peanut gallery. I guess I can't blame him/her.

Nice hair!
Cock-A-Doodle-DOozie! :P

It's almost a "scraw", which a friend of mine came up with to describe crazy hair that really forms on the back of one's head when the 'part' doesn't work out. It is called that because it resembles a bird's nest and would cause a viewer to expect a little bird to pop out and scream "SCRAAAAW!!!"
