That is hilarious!!

I know! That Sharkie is a tricky little hen

Thanks, you all have been so helpful. She was a mystery to me for a looooooooooong time, now I am just glad I am getting eggs!!

I love the egg color AND the fact she is now officially a she!

Thanks, I hatched her from an egg and I have been hoping and praying for this day for the last 7 months! I really feel so happy about her being a her. So, thanks!

It is probably a pullet ( I'd give it a 78% chance IMHO) I have one like that too... it is 12 weeks old and has a single bright red comb, hen, body and hen coloring...so yeah there is always a "shim" in the mix that keeps you guessing right up till it crows or lays an egg:-) Here, check out my...

Do you have a feeling about the gender one way or the other?

Thanks I hope you are right for the pullet vote... And maybe their huge size has to do with allllllll the treats my little ones get;-) eggs, meal worms lots of apples pears, melon, berries. I don't know are the big?? I have no other reference ....what do you guys think....
