So looking forward to getting my eggs in spring CIE. I have one from the eggs Andy bought me - bless him - that is now 11 weeks old and out with the other chooks. I am almost sure she is a she as she has no comb or wattles yet - also no sign of pointy feathers on neck or saddle. I will have to make sure I don't breed from her as she has crooked toes on one foot.
