Help me sex this 7-8 week old Olive egger

[Branddii]

If anyone can help me sex this Olive egger it would be much appreciated. The egg was hatched from a black copper maran Roo over a lavender ameraucana hen blue egg. I’m guessing Roo only from the reddish comb. Anyone wanna take a jab?

So cute! How old is it? Can you get better pics of the saddle feathers?

Probably a bit early to tell as I can't see saddle feathers. I had an olive egger that turned out to be a cockerel. He was more aggressive than than the pullets and had big feet. I confirmed his saddle feathers at about 12 weeks old.

Looking like a boy with that comb. Wait though for the saddles to come in.

No point in saddle photos. The bird is too young still. Earliest 12-14 weeks.

x2. And I agree, you have a cockerel, or in simpler terms, a male.
