Got all 8 from TSC marked as Olive egger pullets...definitely not olive eggers. They are right around 16-17 weeks old at this point, no one is crowing and all seem to have small pinkish combs and very little wattles as of right now. I've been crossing my fingers that they are all pullets but I've also been told that TSC isn't super reliable for having them sexed properly. I do already have a few hens and a rooster who are older by a few months and none of these 8 seem to resemble the rooster at this age, but thought I'd check here and get another opinion? This is our first year with chickens so definitely a learning curve :lol:

None of them appear to be cockerels, all of them have pullet feathering. Also, it is not waddles, it is wattles.
Thank you for the input!! They looked all pullet to me, but after my first batch of 7 that turned into 5 cockerels and only 2 pullets I'm nervous to have that happen again, and yes that was a typo, my phone autocorrects it all the time for some reason 😂
