Hello,

So I received two Olive Eggers and was told they are Blue Splash Maran x Cream Legbar.
After researching, I was under the impression that they are auto sexed breeds so didn't question that we might have a rooster. But now at 4 weeks, I'm starting to think I might have one. Thought I'd get some opinions on here.

The funny thing is we were arranging to pick up a rooster in two weeks because we didn't think there was a chance of these being mistaken for a rooster. Hopefully it all worked itself out but I guess we'll know for sure in a couple of weeks.
 
Here's a few more pictures. They are now five weeks.

Hi, I thought I'd give updated pictures of my two olive eggers. The one is definitely a rooster. No crow yet though but he is in with an older flock, so I'm assuming that could be why.

Yep, that's definitely a male.
He may not be crowing because of any dominant males around.
