Olive Egger x Olive Egger chick sexing

[whydidigetchickens]

I am considering getting this beauty. 2 weeks old. Oe to Oe. Any thoughts on gender before I plunk the money? I am still trying to figure out the easter egger and olive egger sexing tips for any willing to lend a hand. For example: I learned that easter egger pullets will have even feathering and a single row pea comb whereas males are more quilted patterned and have a three row comb. Does this apply to bantams as well? Olive Eggers can sometimes be color sexed but this one I doubt so. What would this chicks OE parents be crossed with to achieve the color? And would a second gen hen lay olive eggs or have a l chance of any egg color?

Olive x olive can lay blue, brown or olive

EEs are a pain to sex until they start showing male, or female characteristics. Comb size, Color, feather color/pattern, saddles etc.

Also just because a pea comb has 1 row doesn't make it female. I have several peas thar were single rowed that now crows

Yeah, & 3 rows isn't always boys either.

Your chick has a single comb, not a pea comb.
