I think the black wyandotte is 8 weeks and the olive egger is 9 weeks. Final verdict.... both pullets?!?

This is good to know, too. Still so new at this I definitely cannot identify comb types. Thanks for the help!

Ooh thanks, hoping you are right! 🙏 thanks for the replies!

Updated pictures for maybe some more predictions on what these chicks are!

That is true! I could have put it better, but thanks for the input! The wyandotte going out and surprising me. This is only our second year and both of these breeds are new to us, so still seems very much like a learning experience. Fun watching them grow regardless 😊

😬 I guess as long as I end up with one pullet. Thanks for the input!

Anyone want to take a guess at what my olive egger may end up being? I know it's too early to know anything definitively this young. I only have our 4 week old black wyandotte to compare it to right now, but the olive egger sure does look gigantic next to it! The little comb has been there...

Oh boy 😐 I guess it's good to have all the ideas! The one in serious question is the one for us that would require the net too 😂 thank you for the advice! Gotta prepare for a stake out.

Yes, that's what I ordered and definitely did not receive! Too bad, she's a beautiful chicken!

Now that lavender Orpington has been suggested and looking at pictures, they very much do look like those. Just didn't think it was possible because we couldn't order those unless we did a straight run, but I suppose anything could happen at a big hatchery/or if the farm store just sorts them...

Thanks for the replies! And glad (kind of) you are saying they aren't sapphire olive eggers, because I was wondering where the tuft they are supposed to have is?

Okay, I am totally new to this. We ordered two sapphire olive eggers, one olive egger, one ISA Brown, and one buff Orpington from our local farm store that we know uses Hoover's Hatchery. The combs and wattles of our SOEs have really seemed to have reddened up over the last few days so hoping...
