Sapphire what and sex help

[Montymoo]

Got 2 chicks from TS a month ago for my broody. They’re supposed to be Sapphire Olive Eggers and pullets. Since they look so different from each other I wonder what they are and if I got a cockerel.
Thanks for any help!

Too early to say yet.

Sapphire olive eggers come in all different shades of gray and even black. This is my first year with them and I learned that I have a rooster at 10 weeks old, no prior signs other than the come was bigger than the others but it wasn't terribly obvious. He crowed yesterday. Considering all of the questions and concerns I surmise that Hoover hatchery hasn't gotten the hang of sexing this newer breed. This is my little Roo.

Thanks for the info. Did you notice longer tail feathers at any point? My darker one makes me wonder.

As of today my Roo has no long tail feathers.
