olive eggers?

Bocktobery ~ Do you happen to have any photos of your OE when they were chicks? I just ordered one, along with some assorted chicks, from MPC, and am not sure which one is the OE, and I don't want to accidentally find a new home for her, as I need to get rid of a couple of the chicks.

I got 2 OE's from MPC this year. One looks like a black EE-- muff, beard, and acts like a roo (I'm hoping she's a girl like I ordered, she's only 2 months old). The other looks exactly like a blue maran, only with slightly less feathering on her feet. I got blue marans as well.

As chicks I couldn't tell them apart from the blue marans. The olive eggers had slightly feathered feet, and so did the marans. Not fully feathered feet, literally just like 3 or 4 feathers on each leg. But they had the same coloring as the marans and the one didn't have puffy cheeks yet.
