Olive Egger/Barred Rock cockerel or pullet 8 weeks

[BulldogsandChickens]

Any guesses on what this 11 week old chick might be? Mom is an Olive egger and rooster is a barred rock. As a hatchling this chick had a black spot on it’s head so I thought pullet but understand with mixed breeds that does not count. It is a spunky chicken always ready to square off.

Pea combs never get too large, so that is quite large for a 11 week old.

This is my pullet at 12+ weeks.

Your pullet is beautiful. Her feathers fit in beautifully with all the Fall foliage right now. The birds I posted pictures of are only 8 wks like I typed in title… not 11 like I mistakingly typed in body of message. That probably makes a difference? More developed pea combs cockerel?
