Rehoming rare WestfälischeTotleger roosters

I'm not sure what that is

It's when males don't have pointed saddle feathers. They look just like the females of that breed. Sebrights are known for it

They are said to lay a egg a day until they die they are German chickens

Actually it has to do with the dialect in the area they are from. They are from northern Germany. Here is some information from wikipedia: Although the German word Tot means "dead" and Leger means "(egg-)layer", the real meaning is another. Due to the considerable ability to produce eggs, the breed was called "Alltagsleger" ("every-day layer") or "Dauerleger". Under the influence of Low German the name changed into "Doutleijer". Later, from this Low German word, it developed into "Totleger". Derivation from "lays eggs until death" is not correct.
For me as a native speaker it does sound like "death" though.

Hope you'll find a good home for your roosters.

Actually that looks like a full Male feathered rooster. So they are not Hen feathered, just confused me with their young feathers
