Olive Egger cockerels? 9-10 weeks old

[hsilc8]

First weekend in January I got chicks from a breeder. They’re supposed to be f2 olive eggers. Should be a crested cream legbar crossed with a welsummer roo and then that crossed with a blue copper maran roo. With this crossing would males have barring? I think my two barred chickens are cockerels and the black a pullet. Was really hoping not to get two boys though! They’re 9-10 weeks old. What do you think??

The barred birds are cockerels, and the black is a pullet.

Agreed

 

[Frazzemrat1]

I also agree

I also think you're correct, the two barred ones look to be cockerels.

 

[Minky]

I think so too!

Their combs are huge, but I’m still holding out a little hope!

If they're cockerels they'll start growing male feathers in a few weeks.

I also agree. 9 weeks and those wattles are pretty big and red. Bouncing teenage cockerels.
