Hi folks,
One more question - have I got a boy or a girl in this 10 week old olive egger?

Yay 🙌 more good news today. I’ll be so happy to have another olive egger in our flock. She hatched from the most beautiful super dark green egg. 🤞 She’s a pullet! Thank you so much everyone that’s chimed in.

Gorgeous girlie you’ve got there!!😍😍
You’ll have to update with a picture of her first egg later!
 
Will do.

Pic below of the olive eggs she hatched from and a pic of another olive egger sister below that was easier to ID as a pullet so I didn’t include her but you can see she has a single comb.

I think the mum of both was back crossed with a Birchin Marans rooster so I suppose there’s always a risk they’ll lay brown - is that right? Is it 50-50 if the mum’s an olive egger and the dad is birchin Marans? Also I’ve heard that pea combs indicate greater likelihood of carrying the blue gene… is that right?
