I was on the fence about her being an OEGB. I have 2, a roo and a hen, but they are silver duckwing and I got them when they were already over a year old so I never saw them as babies. She is so sweet too! She is perfectly content sitting on my lap watching the others. My little OEGB hen is...

Looks like a pullet to me

🤞🏻 Hopefully! 2 more weeks and you should know!
