I purchased two olive eggers from a local breeder in early August. They were about 8 weeks old. They are now about 16 weeks. This morning, I was awakened by crowing...hilarious and pitiful crowing. It turns out that Georgia is George. Now I am curious about the other OE. George has spectacular feathers that are iridescent green and gold against black. Honestly, I was not surprised when he crowed. The other OE, will call her Darla for now, is gray with very little variation in the feathers. What are the chances I ended up with two roos?
 


I know these aren't ideal photos, but I hope they will help with identification. The top picture shows George in all his black, green and gold glory. "Darla" is behind him. The bottom picture is "Darla."
 
I'm thinking cockerel based on the leggy appearance, shading of the color and the comb. A better pic could help confirm.
