The Olive-Egger thread!

[deserteggs22]

Help please, i have a black olive egger, well she hatched from an olive egg and want to know what everyone thinks, hen or rooster. I'm praying for rooster as she's very pretty, she's about 11 weeks old. In Australia we don't have much information about olive eggers so any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Below is a picture of her mother whom I think looks very similar less the golden flecks on her

I'm going to say that I think it's a roo. his comb seems to be reder than a hen's would be, and his feathers are curving in the back(just looks like a roo to me).

I am new to olive eggers. I am wondering if crossing our crested cream legbar rooster and welsummer hens would give me olive eggers ??? also would they be autosexing ???

you would get olive eggers but I think that females must be barred in order to get sex link.

Thanks, , we'll see if he starts crowing soon, how about his little friend, another from an olive egger.

Is she the same age? If she is, it might be a hen.

Trying to find homes for my gray egg gene producing roosters.
