12-week-old Olive Egger Roo confirmation

[Nafalie]

Hi BYC!

I’ve been avoiding the truth that this Olive Egger is a roo. So now I’m turning to you folks to confirm my suspicions.

Absolutely no signs of roo behavior... yet. No crowing, aggression or fighting with the other roos.

But after I took the bottom picture a few days ago and saw those sickle-looking feathers I’m pretty sure this has to be a roo, right?

Thanks for your help!!

Still early, but I’m thinking cockerel.

Oh shucks!!! Thanks for weighing in!

I'm sorry, but that is definitely a cockerel. He's quite a beautiful young guy. He is still young enough not to be showing any signs of typical rooster behaviors.

That is definitely a cockerel. A very handsome one!

Thank you for writing in! I really appreciate it. Even though I was holding out hope for a pullet, lol!
