This is Judith #2
I think she lays a very dark speckeled egg like her mother Judith did.
Judith was the egg eater I culled last year but I hatched out Jr and Judith #2 from only 2 of her large dark eggs.

I will double check it is her egg.

She has a very large saggy bottom. Almost pendulous. I actually wondered if something is wrong with her but it's been this way for months and she is still alive.
