Identifying the olive egger chick among a bunch of barred rock pullets

[Patois]

I ordered 15 barred rock female chicks from Meyer and added a meal maker. It’s an olive egger. Any tips for identifying the olive egger pullet? I think it’s this one because it has the dark belly and a slightly more visible comb than the others. Is there a trick to identifying the olive egger I’m missing? They look so similar to me.

So one way to find the sex of a chick would to be to wind sex them. I will add a photo showing basically what it is.

Here are the photos as an example of wing sexing .

I believe the all Black one is your Olive Egger.

My Olive Egger is chocolate brown, & a cockerel. So, I guess mines meant to be an actual meal.

Thank you. I did get the sexed so they should all be pullets but I’m trying to figure out which one is the olive egger

Meal Maker can be any gender.

my photos are bad but ALL of the chicks have some white on their heads. This one probably has the least amount of white, think she’s the OE?

Meal Maker can be any gender.

They assured me they’d send me another female

If you ordered all female layers, we send another female layer

Can't be true with all of them, really. But that was only an example they're giving.

My Olive Egger egger is a cockerel. I went for Duel Purpose breeds.

I double check genders of my chicks, a day, or two after they arrive, so far I've got 3 cockerels out of eight. 97% sure.


Hopefully your's is actually female though.
