Olive egger Rooster or Hen?

[KHoward]

Hi,

This is a 4 month-old olive egger. I believe it is a rooster. I am basing my guess on the pointy feathers around the neck and tail, and what appears to be sickle feathers in photo #3.

Thoughts?

I think cockerel

 

[SilverBirds]

Agreed, cockerel.

You are correct, those pointy hackle and saddle feathers mean this is definitely a cockerel.

Yes, your Olive Egger is a cockerel.

Heads up, a male chicken under 1 year of age is called a cockerel. Over 1 yr old is called a rooster.
