If a chicken says, "All chickens are liars," is the chicken telling the truth?

By mathematical logic, it is a paradox, due to the law of non-existent in-betweens.
But consider this. Suppose he is lying, which means all chickens aren't liars, but that need not imply that all chickens are truthful either! Some may be liars, and some are truthful, and he is one of the liars!
