Just some updated pictures on this interesting little rooster's comb. Help me come up with a good name for him!

🥚THIS IS THE YEAR!🥚 I'm going to build a self serve egg stand at the end of my driveway. I'm pretty sure I know what I want but would love to see pictures of other stands! Show me what you have! ❤️👍

Yep... but not bigger than my Newfoundland Angus ❤️😇

My goats are Savanna with about a quarter Boer. And my puppy is a Berner! His name is Maverick. ❤️

It's just so weird! I kinda love it! ❤️ I have two Polish hens but I have never hatched their eggs... I tried to last spring but they weren't fertilized so I did bother trying this spring.

The only thing is, is I produced this chick. His mother and father were bred and raised here and so were the grandparents. I've never owned a Sicilian Buttercup. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I hatched this chick last month he is from a Olive Egger mother (Ameraucana X BCM) and a Welsummer father. His mother has the modified pea comb and he had what looked like a straight comb until about a week or two old it started developing this circle at the back of his comb. I'm so...

Thank you so much @NatJ that is exactly what I needed! Honestly it was my fault they are all mixed up, as I was expecting them to be easier to tell apart. Turns out... not so much! I guess that's why I typically use the Ameraucana with a pea comb. 😄

I've been crossing BCM hens to a Blue Ameraucana rooster, and have loved my results. The hens are black or blue sometimes with a beard and some without. Then I started crossing those back to a AM for minty green and then a Welsummer to get speckles on the olive. This year I have blue egg...

Perfect! I've been doing BCM and Olive Eggers with Ameraucana X BCM for a few years. This was the first time using a CCL instead of the Ameraucana for the Olive Eggers. I just wasn't sure how the crest came into play with this cross. I never used CCL before because I didn't have a good line...

I just did my first batch of Olive Egger hens backcrossed to a Welsummer and BCM roosters. So far I have a mix of chipmunk patterns and solid black. As far as I can tell it's seems to be less of them being chipmunk like the Welsummer, even the ones coming from the Welsummer roo pen. I'll have...

Thats a great question! Because I had the same one. I purchased some BCM hatching eggs and noticed one cockerel with white flecks on his chest and shoulder but only on one side!

Hey everyone, so here's the scoop. I was trying out a different cross for Olive Eggers, for the first time, using a CCL hen with a BCM roo. However I mixed them up with my pure BCM chicks. My questions are: Do the CCL X BCM Olive Eggers get a crest like their mother? So as they mature I'd be...

I needed to jump on and ask a question, and I found this thread so I figured I'd ask here. I have what looks like a buttercup comb on a chick. It's a Olive Egger Backcross so a Olive Egger hen with a modified pea comb with a Welsummer or BCM rooster are his parents. What do you think?

This is how it was explained to me and these are the only ones that I know: Dark Brown Egg + Blue Egg = F1 Olive Egger F1 Olive Egger + F1 Olive Egger = F2 Olive Egger. F1 Olive Egger + BCM or Welsummer = Olive Egger Backcross 1 (BC1) BC1 + BCM or Welsummer = Backcross 2 (BC2) F1 Olive...
