Indeed. I love the breed.

I know. It’s so sad I can’t keep her brother, Pepper. I’m 90% sure he’s a he.

I can't tell, the bigger comb and wattles would normally say boy but iv'e had a hen with that large early on.
I'd have to see the feet and legs to be certain.

It’s funny. The pic makes his wattles and comb seem big and red. And they are, but not so much as the pic shows. Here are more pics.

Whoops! Just realized this is an old thread. I do that too often

It’s totally fine! I was updating the thread anyways, so any replies are welcome! She did turn out to be a she.

You were correct.
She was very close to laying, silly me. She just matured so fast. I suspect she or my Orp was our first layer.
