6 week old Olive Egger. Let me guess, it’s a boy?

Got a bit of a boy streak happening over here. What do we think my pretty OE is? (I think boy. But hey. Help a girl out!)

I think female because the comb is pale and small. The bird has a bunch of short, dark feathers in front of the comb and that gives the illusion that the comb is larger than it actually is. Those feathers are unusual.

I’m leaning pullet because of the small comb, but it’s got pretty large feet.

Nothing screams cockerel yet to me.

Not quite sure yet, but the comb is small and I don't see any saddle feathers, so leaning pullet.

It does! And it’s a bit of a bully sometimes ( I know girls can be too though)
Looking back at my last Oe he had a huge comb at 3mo so maybe I’ll be ok!

Yes this could be what threw me. No idea what this one willl look like in a few weeks either those weird feathers lol

Let’s hope you’re all right

That's a pretty small comb for a boy. And not red at a. I think probably pullet.

Looks like it’s going red in person. Hence my concern! But I looked at my last OE and it had a significant comb at the same age. So I think you’re all right
