Thanks Vember! Yeah, definitely looks like the female!! Don't think she's loking like priscilla do you Foxy??  :?

I would have thought she'd be looking a lot more male by now...even if she was only 22 weeks and not the 24 weeks she could possibly be?

Oh dear....I think I'm obsessing!! lmao!!  

[Vember]

Your not obsessing at all, she's a great hen, nice temprement etc and you've bonded with her.

Quite understandable that you want her to be a her, as It would be awful for you if she had to go.

Will send some good vibes to Derbyshire & keep me fingers & toes crossed that she lays you the most perfect egg you've ever seen...

And does it soon

Thanks Vember...I think you feel my pain...

and I thought they'd 'just' be animals in the garden!

I have to say though, that the crow is not loud and never wakes me up. They have a lovely lilting cock a doodle do compared to the noise Bigfoot belts out!
Priscilla stays in a large house until about 7.30am when he gets lets out.

My hen is making a right racket at the moment. She is giving it large most of the day.  My neighbours have been on holiday so not much of a problem but I have guests due tomorrow and I don't want them woken up at some ungodly hour.  I let them out into the garden but she still keeps up the racket.

Wonder what's set her off :?   She's been like it for about a week. She just seems loud and proud.  :?

Cheers foxy, I'll post a thread on there (It's actually where I got her from!) for some reason I don't really post on that site?

Much friendlier on here!!
