I have a few Wyandotte/Olive Egger babies that I am not sure of their sexes. I THINK I originally kept the Blue one because I thoguht it was a roo but it could have just been because it had a nice pea comb, lol.

 

ETA: They are 4wks 3 days old.

They don't have the biggest combs(like most cockerels may have). The first one is a little lanky like a rooster though, and the second is more fluffy like a pullet would be. 

 

It's the shape that makes the breed, and the color that makes the variety.

TIME is the best thing to spend on a child!
Always calibrate your hygrometer before you incubate!!

I am used to my Wyandotte babies, the roosters practically scream boy by 2 weeks old, lol.

 

I REALLY want the last one to be a girl and if the top two are both boys then I guess I will have to decide which one to keep for the OE/EE girls. They're both so sweet that I really hope at least one is a girl fl.gif

I agree.

Having an Icelandic in the coop is like having a 2 year old in the house - they are into everything and don't follow the rules.

I have zero chicken willpower.

Well the Blue is definitely a BOY. I was holding him(ok, cuddling him! lol) tonight and saw his red shoulder feathers coming in.  His grandpa was a BLR but I think his shoulders are just gonna be red like a lot of other EE roos. If it came in laced it would be pretty though!
