I thought my Olive Egger was a hen, but then she grew a mohawk and someone said that meant she's a roo...help

She has a crest and that does NOT mean she is a boy. She has CCLB blood, which is why she is crested. A full body picture would help, but she looks like a pullet with a female-specific pattern.

Pullet. That is a crest, and has no correlation to gender.

How old? It's a crest. Lots of females have crests. I'm looking more at the comb. Looks female to me.

 

[Aunt Angus]

And I'll add that she's super cute!

She's 7 or 8 weeks old.

Can you tell me what CCLB stands for? I also have 2 crested olive eggers. Thanks!

Crested Cream Legbar - I have 3 CCLBs in the teenage stage right now, they have those cute crests sprouting too. All pullets.
