I got three olive eggers the week of Valentine's Day ^_^ I also got rooster insurance just in case, but of course are supposed to be pullets. I'm not sure about 2 of the 3. I think the last two may be roosters...seem really red to me? I'm pretty positive #1 is a pullet. They are about 7 to 8 weeks old.

Thank you :-)
I thought they may all be girls, but their wattles are really red. But I figured if they were roosters, the comb would be larger at this point? My partridge rock roo was at least. Concerned me because the darker one hasn't gotten as red. But I'm not sure exactly what cross they are either.
 
These are 2 of my almost 6 week old OE’s. I have a feeling the one on the right is a he...

Yeah, I would say he is a rooster as well. Nice looking one! :-) The red coloring in chest and shoulders, does that apply to OE too, like EE, for a roo?

That’s what I don’t understand! How can any trait be “for sure” when you don’t know what the parents are?!? I emailed the hatchery a few weeks ago and they said she had the coloring of a female but more comb development than usual. So I guess time will tell! But they sure are pretty and have quite the personalities. I’d love to see yours as they grow, so post pictures :)
