Not the best pictures (they are Little Squirrley suckers) but can you try to help me determine the sex of my 6 week old Olive eggers? I have a total of 9 Olive eggers.

Examine their combs, and size of their feet. The chicks with the biggest feet and biggest combs are most likely male, but some specific breeds of pullets have combs, though male combs begin to turn pink at around 3 weeks.

Some of them have me confused because I can see the color of the comb changing but the comb is not growing.

Then they may have a rose comb, it's not straight and spikey, it's lumpy and bumpy instead, many olive eggers have a rose comb, including my rooster victor(the black and white one). Ours are full grown, but here's some examples of hens.( Well summer looking one is Easter egger, black one is olive egger, all have rose combs)
