That is one heck of a lovely tail Sharkie's got on her for a pullet.
Congrats on the egg. I'm so glad she turned out to be a hen for you.

Thanks, I hatched her from an egg and I have been hoping and praying for this day for the last 7 months!

Big congrats on Sharkie's first egg! I'm guessing by the lack of crowing & mating, you already had strong suspicions of a female.

Everyone here who guessed Brownie as a boy was right. He started crowing in Nov. Now at 29 weeks some of the girls are laying. This must have really confused him. Daily, he digs around & sits in a nest box, then hops out singing the "egg song." I think he has some major gender identity issues.


Does anyone else have a crazy rooster that tries to lay eggs?
