One of my silver Isabel hens is substantially bigger than any of my other zebs, but not sure if she looks "cobby" or is just really big girl.

I can always tell when she flies because she sounds heavier, almost like a helicopter. :lol:

She's one that I bought from a pet store, they of course didn't really know anything about her.

Rebecca, they all look so wonderful!! Some of my hens (even a few males) come out of clutches a bit on the big size compared to their siblings. Some of the birds I see in Petsmart look rather large compared to others. I wonder if they are have english in their genes!

Pretty birds Elma!
