Tell me I don’t have 4 Roo’s please

[Payturpin]

I am highly suspicious that at least 3 of my 4 olive egger chicks are Roosters. I know they’re young and it may be hard to tell.. but I’ve never have OE before so im a little unfamiliar with the breed specifically. Let me know what y’all think.

Okay, you don't have 4 roos, please. Just kidding! I think 2 and 3 are definitely roos. I'm not sure on the others though.

It's too young to tell. 2 just has a slightly more pronounced comb, bot a red one. Or at least that's what it looks like on my screen

 

[Cluckwork Orange]

my guess, and I'm not sure, is that the odd numbers are ladies and the even numbers are gentlemen.

if #2 isn't a male, she's definitely on the wrestling team.

Nothing says cockerel on anyone, 2 has a bit of comb but not too concerning yet.

What makes you think #4 is?

 

[Cluckwork Orange]

What makes you think #4 is?

was just a guess from its general demeanor.

why #3 for you?

#2 looks like what my olive egger roos looked like at about 3.5/4 weeks. The others combs look more like my Easter egger hens.

About the same haha Sometimes they just have a certain "rooster" look to them, ya know? Lol And I thought its legs are rather large.

I think #2 is a cockerel based on comb and #4 is a possible cockerel based on posture.
