5 week old Olive Egger

[Clwilke]

My kids picked Olive the Olive Egger up at a chick days sale 5 weeks ago. We were told she was a day old and he was sure she was a she. I just want to see what others think about Olive. S(he) isn’t aggressive and might be last in the pecking order of the 3 chicks we currently have. I guess because there are raises on her comb it makes me wonder. Any help would be appreciated we are still pretty new at this. Our older 3 girls are just now starting to lay.

Looks like a pullet to me.

Pullet. She has a pea comb, and it looks just like that in a young bird.

I third pullet. The red coloration would be more severe by now, as well as the comb itself larger if she were a cockerel.

I agree pullet. Is she is hen feathered.
