Hi! This is my first time owing chickens I got them sexed from the fantastic and amazing Long Island Poultry Farm. I estimate 14 weeks old maybe? “She” is an Olive Egger. I noticed her behavior is more “up right” frequently ruffling neck feathers and jumping face on at other chicks, chasing the others around when one strays away. She was “bawking” this morning at 6am. Hoping she’s just bossy! Giselle or Gaston? Also a little more bright on the comb then the rest.
One of the other chicks stands up to her.

Yep, cockerel. It’s not the three row pea comb that determines it, because hens can have that as well. The size and redness of the comb are much more reliable factors.
