Olive egger roosters???

[Suzikay]

I got these two olive eggers as sexed females on hatch day, but here they are at 10 weeks… I don’t have any experience with this breed so I have nothing to go on.

They look older than 10 weeks. If they are only 10 weeks then yes male

Besides the comb looking pretty red to me at this age, they both look like they have pointed feathers around their necks. Good indication of a cockerel.

These look older than 10 weeks but yes, they're both cockerels. A side view would be better but I agree they you can just make out pointy hackle feathers which is male-specific.

I got them the day after they hatched and I keep recounting the weeks… they hatched 2/16.

They hatched 2/16, am I counting wrong? I hope not.

I guess they're just very developed, mature boys!

I have a sapphire olive egger that I’ve been trying to figure out if it’s a rooster or not. The comb and wattles are red but not big like yours! 12 weeks yesterday. Did yours end up being roosters?

At only 12 weeks old, the comb and wattles are too red for it not to be a cockerel. Sorry!

That’s so heartbreaking
