Welsummer or Olive Egger?

[squishychicky]

I had 6 chicks hatch, sadly one of them died the next day. So I know what 4 of them are, but there were two that looked similar, this one and the one who died. So it is either a welsummer or an olive egger, which from memory is auracuna cross marans (or maybe welsummer?)

Is it possible to tell which? I don't know if it makes a difference but we are in australia. I know our araucuna's look different (they have tails

Thanks!

Looks like it has feathered legs Welsummers do not have feathered legs, so it's an olive egger.

Finally someone else in Australia.
I would have to say it’s most likely an Olive egg. Hope I can be of some help. I don’t have any hens that are olives or Wellsummer so I wouldn’t know much but of what I do know I would say olive egg.
Anyway.......

ahh, didn't notice the legs! Thanks. Now hoping for a girl. I know welsummers with that much eyeliner would usually be girls, fingers crossed it's the same. The welsummer that passed looked like a girl. I was so sad, and no idea what happened!

Yes sorry I couldn’t provide any assistance

Won't be able to tell if its an Oliver Egger for sure until it lays.

Agreed, you likely have an Olive Egger. Welsummers aren't feather-legged.
