I wonder if I threaten my 12time ladies with the same fate if they will decide the odd egg wouldn't be so difficult,they seem to have decided that looking pretty is their role in life :)
To be honest some of our araucana hens i would struggle to say what sex they are if they weren't laying eggs. We had a call duck we name Jemima that we recently had to rename Jeromine for similar reasons lol.......
