    Olive egger/ RIR 8 week old chick gender?

    Hello all! This is Matilda! I’m pretty sure hen but I’m getting ready to find her brothers and sisters homes and I just want to make sure she is a hen before I decide to keep her! Also if hen, is she going to be an olive egger as well? Thanks!

    That is so cool! And good to know! Genetics are so cool! Does the ability to have gold/silver sexed link chicks come from his RIR or SS side? Or does it come from the hens?

    Dad is a RIR/Speckled sussex. His mom was the speckled sussex! And I labeled all eggs as they were laid so I could know which baby belonged to which mom!

    For sure! I think it’s also fun to look back and see if we were correct! Plus I love learning the reasoning behind everyone’s guesses! That way I can learn more!

    OMG this is so fascinating! These are my first chicks I've ever hatched. I'm trying to learn as much as possible! Could I send you pictures of my 5 other chicks and you give me your best guess? Thank You!

    Her he is right after hatching and then over the next three days after that! It would be perfect if he was a pullet but either way is okay!!
