Another boy?

The cow farmer's father came round today to move the cows back to the other field as they have  busted out in to the neighbours field. The neighbour came round yesterday to ask for our farmer's phone number, as he has cows in that field who didn't need any more friends.
M. Baute Snr took a look at our chickens and told us that brown chicken is a coq too!
We are not sure whether he is right, but he sounded pretty convinced and we had been wondering too. But we had convinced ourselves that because Big Chicken keeps Brown Chicken in line and Brave Chicken (now Brave Coq) ignores her pretty much that that was indicative of her being female (but to young to be of interest to Brave Coq). We are not sending him/her straight to the cook pot, we will wait and see if she/he produces eggs or crowing.

We have decided to get a few more chickens (and hope are female) as one egg a day isn't quite enough. Little Chicken and Chicken Five will start laying sometime soonish but we are going to see if we can get some of the same breed who are already laying. We will keep Brave Coq for a while... probably... and have some baby chickens... we will have to see just how loud the crowing gets...
