Has no raised comb or visible wattles. No tail feathers yet, dainty legs. It does have the rust coloring on chest and shoulders which screams cockerel to me. I’d love to hear what you think.
So are we talking 6 weeks old? If so... could still get development. Who were the parents?I’d love to hear what you think.
Def in the ugly awkward phase, lol. It’s a wheaten maran, cream legbar Cross.So are we talking 6 weeks old? If so... could still get development. Who were the parents?
The wider white bars is an indicator that it is male... IF the dame was barred or cuckoo.
I would say little cutie... but it's kinda in the Uhgly phase right now.
I think Olive Egger is as much a generic term as Easter Egger... and if it's a blue cross brown parents... then I think the term does apply... even if it is first generation. Thus far I have not seen a standard put forth for "Olive Egger" and so it seems to me anything goes.While I think you have bred a hybrid here I am not sure you can use the term olive egger. While olive eggers are typically bred from a Maran/Cream Legbar mix. The typical mix is the Black Maran. I’m not sure this combination has been breed before? Do you know if it has?

Yes, that would be sex linked by barring... I do believe.
