Olive Egger? Gender? Let me hear what you think!

Meet Kiwi- 9 weeks, she was suppose to be an OE Pullet we ordered from MPC.... But we have noticed in the past few days that 'her' comb has gotten very red compared to all the others so now thinking she might be a he... also that white feather coloring is newish too but not sure that matters.

I'd say that looks like an EE, cockerel.

It is a cockerel, and looks like an EE.

Olive Eggers don't have beards, so that's probably a EE, or maybe a Amerucana? Cockerel.

I have an olive egger from Ideal, based on an Ameraucana for the blue and some other breed for the dark brown, to get the olive eggs. She checked all of the boxes for Ameraucana vs Americana/easter egger too, until she layed that olive egg!

They can have beards - I have a bearded olive egger

Of my six Olive Eggers, three are based on Cuckoo Marans from the feathering, and two of those have fuller beards than that. All three lay green eggs.

Just an update... Definitely a rooster! He just crowed for the first time a few days ago as well. He is so handsome and my daughter renamed him David/Prince Charming
