4 week old black olive egger gender guesses

[shyylo]

The dad is a Easter egger and the mom is a black Cooper marans. This chick hatched out of the egg with a tail already and feathered quickly. In about a week had a lot of feathers. Which made me think pullet. Now the comb is a bit bigger and I am worried. Mom and dad pictures too.

I am leaning towards cockerel. The comb is a little too red for me to think pullet.

Your rooster is beautiful by the way

My what a handsome dad <3 I have a blue copper maran that is 14 weeks and I'm so anxious to see what he grows into. I'm leaning toward cockerel for your little chickie but that's just a guess.

Sometimes the comb is a little pink then it calms down and is not pink. I am bummed because it was the only egg out of 6 to hatch, I was so hoping to see what kind of egg it would lay from my two birds. First time breeding my own birds. Well, I will hold out hope its a girl for now, but that comb has me worried.

I was hoping to make my own f1 (maran to ameraucana or EE) and f2 (maran to olive egger) generations, too. Unfortunately I accidentally hatched a mutt rooster a week before my maran arrived and at 15 weeks old the mutt has fervently fertilized every hen in the yard..... I have no idea how I will go about isolating him. I doubt he will be in the stew pot though because other than his genetics he has been the epitome of a great rooster and he's quite handsome too.
