This olive egger 🤔

[Ht2614]

Any thoughts? Comb has come in, but it isn't red...just a light pink. Bird itself is super skittish...unlike the barred roo I had that ALWAYS wanted to be held. I think this bird is about 7-8 weeks? It took the longest to mature out of the 5 I have.

It's looking like a roo so far... that's a lot of comb and waddle development for 7-8 weeks

I could be a little off....it could be 9 weeks. I was thinking it was a lot too. My barred rock had a full red comb and wattles by like 6 weeks, so I was hoping this one was not going that route

When do they usually start crowing?

Not an olive Egger. Just a plain old Cuckoo Marans, probably. And a boy.

It has no Olive Egger traits. No crest, no muffs, no pea comb. It has pink legs, a single comb, and normal barring.
Cuckoo Marans.

Aren't these supposed to have feathers on their legs too?
