    Olive egger Rooster or Hen?

    Hi, This is a 4 month-old olive egger. I believe it is a rooster. I am basing my guess on the pointy feathers around the neck and tail, and what appears to be sickle feathers in photo #3. Thoughts?

    Besides a duck, what am I?

    Imagine my surprise when this cutie hatched out of my Silver Appleyard flock. The rest of his hatch-mates look classic Appleyard (yellow with the black mohawk). I only have Appleyards, no other ducks. Any thoughts as to what this little one is?
