I have just received two for the incubator, they are medium sized cream eggs, one is very glossy, the other matt so I am not sure which is more likely. I would say the ones I have are on the smaller side of medium. P.S. Can anyone phonetically (sp? ) spell the way you pronounce this breed for me please. I guess as I could potentially be to owner of a pair of them, I had better gen up about the breed!

Words in different languages can be mispronounced but still understood. Bit like Volkswagen - how would a German say that? And how do we say it?

You may be correct! I don't really know for sure, just that I say it as Nigel posted & so do others I know.

Next step, hatching some out..... OK, I've just previewed this and the pictures are too small. I will have a play around later and see if I can make them any bigger.
