And this is how the three legendary disciplines of the German championship of rooster-crowing evolved: \u201ccrowing and strutting\u201d for roosters, \u201ccackling and clucking\u201d for hens and \u201ccheeping and cackling\u201d for chicks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, it is not my fault that more and more people come each year.

Exuding Palatinate charm, he encourages the little chicks to do their best, flirts with the hens and competes with the proud roosters. This year, the youngest chick is just two and a half, the oldest rooster a respectable 84 years old.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou might say that a rooster is in every man and a hen in every woman\u2014but we are very modern-minded. At our contest, women are allowed to compete with the roosters and men with the hens.\u201d Perhaps this is the key to the success of the rooster-crowing contest: Palatinate gender justice. When cackling men lay eggs in G\u00f6cklingen, word of this incident gets around\u2014to Zwickau in Saxony and even to neighbouring Austria where the championship hatched its first international offspring.<\/p>\n<p>Very soon dedicated rooster fans may have something else to crow about.
