If she stays true to principal, she will have a career first.

Could be what she is looking for, as she is 2 yr old and hasn't nested yet....finchbreeder wrote:If she stays true to principal, she will have a career first.

You get the odd hen like that. I have a BH Gouldian hen. Nothing the 1st year. 1 egg the 2nd year and lost her mate. 4 eggs this year with new mate, and YAH 2 chicks have hatched and are about 7/10 days old. So maybe your girl will be like this.

I know of black mutants/forms where all frontal red is absent so it could possibly be a male of this form I guess - or just a very butch hen. Have you had it with a known hen to see what happens?
