so a while ago I made a post in which I expressed my disappointment that our sole Wyandotte, Daphne, was in fact obviously a cock. Here he/she is as at today:

hackles/comb:

little spurry things on enormous feet.....

full majesty.....

dwarfing our welsummers......

But now that the chooks have started laying we've noticed that someone is laying something rather different to a welsummer egg. spot the odd one out....

Is it possible that Daphne is a hen? She looks exactly like every photo I can find of a wyandotte cock and I'm struggling to envisage those eggs being welsummer eggs? Chickens are confusing.

as I thought. So that means a wyandotte cock and one of the three welsummers is laying what appear to be rhea eggs.
