What gender is my Olive Egger?

[danneschwebel]

I have an olive egger that’s almost 5 months. I thought it was a roo because it grew so much faster than the others but now I’m not so sure. It seems to have slowed down. If anyone more experienced can share their thoughts, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Welcome to BYC!

I agree.. pullet!

In addition to a pullet specific color pattern, a cockerel would be sporting pointy saddle feathers starting by 12 weeks but WELL by the stated age. Examples from google..
