Hello! I would love your guesses on whether my lovely Blue Olive Egger is a pullet or a roo. He or she is exactly 4 weeks old, most likely a Copper Maran and an Ameraucana mix. Purchased as a pullet from Ideal Poultry. Comb is very light pale pink, no signs of wattle at the moment. Thanks in advance!

I have to agree w @Tookie comb that large at 4 weeks is most likely male. The wattles will probably show up 'out of nowhere' in the next week or so.
 
I just ordered Blue Olive Eggers from Ideal! Did yours end up being a cockerel? Do you have updated pics? They don’t have any adult pics on their site.
Yes, and a very loud one too 🥲
I also called and asked what they’re mixed with. Splash Maran and Legbar.

He’s beautiful! Sorry it wasn’t a pullet. I’ll get mine at the end of August! Hoping I don’t get an accidental roo too 🤞🏼 If we lived on a couple acres I’d love a rooster but can’t have any where we are now 😫

Have a plan for if you do get a boy.
I would anticipate getting one. It's common. 😬 Last two times I got chicks I got 1 rooster in a batch and 2 in another.
