Why is on Creme Legbar so small & is this Olive Egger a Pullet ??

[SandyRiverChick]

These 3 should be 6 weeks. They should be pullets = 2 Creme Legbar, 1 Olive Egger. But... first question... Does #1 look like a Pullet or Cockeral? And second question.... Look a the size difference between #2 and #3 ??? I don't understand. What explains this? Not really the same age or_______ ? Sincerely appreciate any feedback I can get.

Pullet. Are you saying that #1 is an olive egger? It looks like a barred rock to me.

THANKS!! Yes, #1 is SUPPOSED to be Olive Egger..... I've been wondering too if maybe she's a BR. She looks and acts just like I remember my BR at this age. But I dont have a reference for how OE's look, I've never had one. Sure would explain her being bigger than the CLB's but that's a segway into the other mystery - why one is so much smaller. I'm guessing runt at this point...

Have you heard of a Barred Olive Egger? Just finding this on another forum.....

I think you will have to wait 'till she lays her first egg to know if she is a barred rock or a barred olive egger, but then, some olive eggers lay brown eggs too.
