This (hopefully) pullet is from mypetchicken and they do not disclose their olive egger breeds. any ideas on this one? She has a little mohawk and big feet but is smaller than another chick we got at the same time and no other signs of not being a pullet. She was a black and white chick and now is mostly black with white under the wings.

Nothing is screaming cockerel, I'd wait awhile longer. MPC has a 100% sexing policy so if it is a cockerel they will refund you the price plus shipping. I'd say maybe a cream legbar mix.

Yeah my problem is that we only bought 3 chicks this time and my hens killed one. We can't have roosters here so if this one is a cockerel that leaves me trying to integrate one shy pullet into the flock.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that! All you can do is wait it out, I'm sure some others will chime in with their opinions. I'm no expert when it comes to sexing, I just don't think it's near red enough to be a cockerel. I got an OE from MPC a year and a half ago and I swore she was a he until she was past the 14-week mark because her comb is huge! Needless to say, she laid her first egg 2 days shy of 19 weeks.
