Sue..... your barred olive egger is a girl. You do know that the one in the first pic is a roo though, right?

My broodies hatched out 15 of 16 olive eggs they were sitting on. 1 chick died and that leaves 14 live chicks. They are adorable.....all sorts of colors and markings. I have 3 different olive egger hens, so regardless of the dad's they can all look different.

Here are 9.

1 more

4 are not pictured...I think there are 2 blacks, 1 yellow and a chipmunk one. Maybe.....

They are all feather legged, of course. Dad's should all be cochins. Should be some light olive eggers or various shades of green.

I need help from the Olive Egger sexing Experts. I have a 12 week old OE (BCM-dad, EE mom) One dad I am sure it's a Roo and the next I am not. He/she has a single comb, but long tail feathers, absolutely no saddle feather growth and a barely pink comb.

My other OE roosters, had saddle feathers and a very pinkish comb by this age. What are your guesses, I will try to get some better pictures of it's comb and tail.

ETA:
better Comb

And tail shot
