Have you ever tried to pluck one, as it is called a hen.
Other lobster trivia is as follows:
- When is a lobster a chicken? When it weighs about one pound.
- When is a lobster a pistol? When it has no claws.
- Why wouldn't a lobsterman with shorts on want to meet a marine patrol officer? He has lobsters that don't meet the legal size.
- Why shouldn't a lobster walk into the kitchen? It's the first chamber of a lobster trap. The inner chamber is called the bedroom or parlor.

A male lobster is called a cock and a female a hen, or chicken when it weighs about one pound. A one-clawed lobster is called a cull. If it has no claws, it's called a pistol.
