Hi guys!
I hatched 5 Olive eggs 3/26 making these guys like 14 weeks old..so being the lucky gal I am all 5.. I am positive are all boys..(Well all 4 are def. boys) But can you guys just take a look at this last one and does anything look like it would be anything other than a boy?..I think it's a boy..Just want to make sure..I am like 90% sure

The only difference between him and his sibs..is this ones comb is really smaller..like one line (pea comb) and lighter and all the others have large saddle feathers by now I don't see any on this one ( I parted the feathers and everything..there are no shiny pointy ones? ..also the others have crowed and he hasn't ....So, Any input would be appreciated..
Thanks! Oh he is 1/2 Maran 1/2 Ameracauna

Well we must be lucky or something,cause I ended up with three outa four of my olive eggers being roos.Still not too sure about the fourth no crowing yet.I will say that all mine have bigger and redder combs at 12 weeks so hang in there!

Yah we are lucky..My grand total out of 17 hatched eggs...12 Roos (and maybe this one 13) and 4 pullets hows that for odds? Haaa:lol: So This would be good news I wasn't expecting..I just assumed it was another boy..
 
pips&peeps :

it's a cockerel

Hi..Would he have Saddle feathers by now like the others or are some just late bloomers? I am not seeing them..and the others have these really deep 3 line red pea combs..this one is like one line and more pinkish?
Do I have a girlish roo? LOL

looks like a pullet to me, no saddle feathers.
 
Definately a roo. The tail set is very roo, including those long upright curving feathers, and his comb is too large and red for a pullet of 14 weeks.
