Olive Egger sexing — this a roo?

Oh she's gorgeous. Here is a recent pic. They are a little over 2 yrs now. And a collage made from baby to 1st egg!

I also have had 2 OE hens with white spot's on head. It is for sure about the cuckoo marans barring. I use Privett, they do CM over CCL, chicks look just like yours.

Love her rock star hair-do!

Okay, thanks everyone!

I was tempted to get another Olive Egger from the Dare2Dream batches expected tomorrow if I had to send back a roo from this lot, but I’ll try to hold strong...

Oh yeah when the mohawk started coming in I just about died. They were my 1st chickens and I didn't know that some have crests. It was too cute and looked like stray feathers at first.

BTW Patrick did mis-sex 1 of my 3 chicks. My yellow little Mottled Java turned out to be a roo.

Really helps me feel at ease about my OE she looks like yours and I thought her comb was giving rooster hints but looking at your pictures they look the same

@BurbMum How are your babies doing?

Hi! They are okay. Still raspy breathing/rales and some sneezes, and the Wyandotte that was sooo messed up by the cocci is now hoarse? But no other symptoms as far as I can tell and poops look good. They are eating, drinking, and scratching around so I’m just hoping they’re not suffering long-term damage that can come with early IB infection (which is my best guess at this point).

I ended up ordering two chicks from Dare2Dream anyways (in a chicken math attack) and then canceled when the respiratory symptoms appeared because I didn’t want to infect new babies.

Thank you for asking!

Yeah I thought of you when I saw all the ailments and issues people were having with Hilltop.

But I'm glad to hear they are acting normal though and hopefully they are on the mend

You're smart to be better safe than sorry with bringing in more babies right now. You can always do it in the future!

@BurbMum How are your babies? Did your Olive Egger turn out to be a pullet like we thought?
