It's so hard waiting! I started noticing Olive was a little more "Oliver-y" around 8 weeks old, but I wanted to wait and see a little longer than that...so maybe there's still hope that you have a little lady! We'll keep our fingers crossed that you still get the pretty green eggs 😊
He is indeed a little man...and a handsome one at that! I was able to rehome him with a farm friend who sends me updates on him frequently 🙂 It was the best outcome I could've hoped for. All the others have been girls thank goodness!
Olive(r) is 16 weeks today and still no crowing or fighting with my older roos, so as long as he behaves himself he has a home. It's odd though, his comb hasn't gotten any bigger and I'm having a hard time seeing the hackle/saddle feathers from the barring. I'm apparently still in the denial...
They were 8 weeks old. I knew the price was pretty steep, but I already have 2 roosters so it was worth it to guarantee pullets. I should've known better 😔
@Rein Thank you, I paid $30 a bird for guaranteed pullets to avoid this...now I just feel stupid, lol
I'll include a picture of all the other pullets, that way if y'all see any other roos I can just rip the
daid off quick 🥲
Nooooooo. The worst part is, I believe he gets them from Privett and their website says that the Olive Eggers are sexable. I can't believe out of 7 "pullets" I've had 2 roos....so far!
If you'll excuse me, I need to go cry myself to sleep
Hey y'all! I have another questionable pullet on my hands. I bought 7 8-week old pullets from the same breeder, one already turned out to be a little Leghorn cockerel so now I'm a little paranoid about all of them. I don't know if I can trust the age, breed, or gender, so I figured maybe y'all...
