Apparently (I'm just learning now) that it is unusual for a hen to have a beard, but not unheard of. Tito is even more special, now!

I was going to comment on the beard too, but didn't want to seem like a redneck! =P

That was how she ended up with a male name: she started showing all these male characteristics (snood, beard, etc) before she ended all doubt by laying an egg!

That's almost exactly opposite of what happened with my turtle, "Shelly", now known as Sheldon.

I am not really sure if that makes sense, but I hope you know what I am trying to say. Case of mistaken gender identity...
