Jo - I couldn't believe how orange it was considering the parents colour but I think it will darken off as it grows.
They are much bigger than cresties in length but I do have cresties that are heavier. The clutchmates egg failed early on in incubation but I do have another 1 egg due in July.
Hopefully I should be producing a few more this year but it depends on Mrs Sarasin!
