Hello- I have 2 Orpington mix chickens. I got them about 5 weeks ago, and they were already around 3 weeks old or so. I think the lavender one was potentially even older, so they’re both around 8 weeks old. I haven’t noticed any particular rooster-like behavior, but this is also an unfamiliar breed to me. I keep looking for hackle and saddle feathers, but not seeing any. The gray splash chicken also has funky feathers that are difficult for me to read. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I included a few pictures of my (assumed) Olive Egger hen. Not seeing any sharp feathers on her, but would love some confirmation since she was my first. I got 8 Olive eggers originally, and I ended up with 7 for sure roosters which has made me overly suspicious of all of them now. Thanks in advance!
