Pullet or Roo? 9 week old Olive egger

[abarnangh]

Hey all. This is my 9 week old Olive Egger Pilgrim. I'm a little concerned that Pilgrim might be a roo. I had an Olive egger last year who turned out to be a roo and at this same age his comb was super red and he was twice the size of my pullets. Pilgrim is the same size as my pullets and her comb is still yellow, however she has what looks like possible saddel feathers. Side note not super sure about her little mohawk shes got going on, been that way since she lost her chick fluf. Please set my mind at ease!! Thanks in advance!

She is a pullet! Saddle feathers don’t tend to appear until around 12 weeks.

I sure hope so! Once bitten twice shy with olive eggers . She's also super friendly and I adore her.

She's probably a legbar mix, that's why she has that little crest.

Interesting! I got her from Meyers chick hatchery and they don't disclose the breed mix. Thanks for the insight!! I love it and think it's super cute

Yeah looks to be a pullet I agree with those above

Adorable! Yeah, the comb is still pale so I think pullet too. Hard to tell with the lighting in the pic but I don't see any male specific feathering.
