Olive Egger Pullet? 13 weeks

[house1917]

Just one cockerel... the rest of the youngsters shown are pullets. So a little good news- will be interesting to see the shades of olive you get from the different mixes!

Imma say at least two cockerels!

Far right one in second pic MIGHT be a boy too, keep an eye on that one. It also might not be one. Other than that l, I see no other males.

The salmon color on the breast is a hen only color pattern.

Good point, thanks

Olive(r) is 16 weeks today and still no crowing or fighting with my older roos, so as long as he behaves himself he has a home. It's odd though, his comb hasn't gotten any bigger and I'm having a hard time seeing the hackle/saddle feathers from the barring. I'm apparently still in the denial stage of my pullet grief

Any update?

He is indeed a little man...and a handsome one at that! I was able to rehome him with a farm friend who sends me updates on him frequently It was the best outcome I could've hoped for. All the others have been girls thank goodness!

I'm glad he found a happy home! He looks a lot like my own ambiguous 11/12 weeker, but your original photos showed a much bigger and redder comb than mine has. It's so hard to just wait and see!!

It's so hard waiting! I started noticing Olive was a little more "Oliver-y" around 8 weeks old, but I wanted to wait and see a little longer than that...so maybe there's still hope that you have a little lady! We'll keep our fingers crossed that you still get the pretty green eggs
