Hi all. I'm new to the group. I have a 22 year old Congo Grey. Dorian has been in my family since he was a baby but recently moved into my home. My issue is that on 9/14 I discovered that Dorian is a she and not a he. Dorian layed her first egg. We never got Dorian sexed because we never intended to breed her, so it wasn't important to us. We just assumed that after 5-10 years we were right to refer to her as a "he" since "he'd" never layed an egg. I'm just wondering if anyone knows how common this is for this to happen to such a mature bird. I'm also wondering if I should expect more eggs in the coming days or if she may just lay the one. All the information I've found online so far are from breeding sites which don't really fit this situation since Dorian doesn't have a mate. Thanks in advance for any info you can provide. Denice
