Hi everyone! So I bought two F2 Olive Eggers that I was told were both pullets. I’m needing second opinions as I’m pretty sure one is a cockerel. I actually bought 8 chickens total from same person and I believe at least half are males. These two are now about 16 weeks old I think. She didn’t have a hatch date for me when I picked them up but said they would start laying within a couple months. The blue/lavender I can tell is a pullet for sure. The dark one is a little smaller but has quite the read comb. Also the tail feathers arent looking very pullet-ey to me either. Lol

Thank you everyone! Shucks!!!! Very frusterating! Lol so my follow up question is, when it comes to breeding, I know you breed a dark layer roo to a blue egg layer hen. However, what if an olive egger roo is used instead? What would the eggs potentially look like?

Maybe....moss egger egger eggs if it was to a brown layer hen, and pale olive If to a blue layer?
