Olive Egger Sexing

[electriclights]

Hello! I got 4 Olive egger chicks as babies. They are getting older (10 weeks old now) and I feel like 3 out of 4 are roos. Hoping for some help sexing them!

I agree...3 of the 4 are roos.

At 10 weeks, anything with a developed, red comb and wattles is male.

Sadly, yes, I believe you're correct on this one. On a lighter note, they're all gorgeous!

Hens have rounded tail feathers and Roos tend to be pointed and droopy

Not until their older. They're too young for the sexually dimorphic feathering.

That said, the combs indicate three cockerels and a pullet.
