According to Greenfire farms (original importer of the breed into the USA) the egg color is supposed to be green.

Does anyone know when the males's combs start reddening up? I have two babies who are 4.5 weeks old and look like pullets so far with yellow and practically nonexistent combs. I was just wondering at what age I can start to feel safe that they're indeed pullets

It's nice to see that the chicken I wanted to make is all ready made just rare in the US. I hope we can get other colors here eventually.

Wow! He's gorgeous! That picture is very helpful! Now that my chicks are eight weeks, I believe I have a cockerel too!

My pullet is the sweetest lap chicken
