olive egger

I had 6 chicks hatch this week. They are a cross between a Blue Maran rooster (brown egg) and an Easter Egger Hen (light green egg). They are only a few days old and I am curious if anyone else has a similar cross and what did the offspring's egg color turn out to be? I was hoping to make some...

I am wondering about the age/signs of egg laying first time chicken owner here. They are 23 weeks old, we live in Michigan though. Will they lay this fall yet??

Hi. This is my 8 week old chick, Flash. S/he has a very small comb that is red. We've only seen her involving in sparring once. I can't tell if she is a he or not. Help please!

I'm just super excited so I made a thread! My girls just stared laying and I popped one egg in the bator and it pipped this morning! It's from my Sapphire Olive Egger (she doesn't lay green eggs but oh well) and most likely my White Japanese Bantam. It's pipped at the wrong end but I've had eggs...

I have 4 chicks that are about 4 weeks old and would love to see if anyone had any ideas about whether they’re hens or roosters! I know 4 weeks might be too early but the suspense is killing me and I have no idea about sexing chicks so thought I’d see if anyone had any ideas! We have two...

Could someone kindly explain how in the world you get F8 Olive Eggers please? Wouldn’t their offspring be every color under the rainbow? :jumpy

These Olive Eggers from Ideal hatched 5/19 or 6/23. They are a cross between Easter Eggers and Welsummers or Barnevelders. These have multi-colored plumage with some having beards and muffs similar to Easter Eggers and some not. They are excellent layers of Olive Colored eggs They currently...

One of my olive egger chickens (~18 weeks) laid 2 very soft-shelled eggs. what do I do/ how do I fix this and prevent it in the future. The white's and yoke of the egg look normal.

I need to sell my Frost White Legbar, two Cream Crested Legbar, and two Olive Egger chicks Hatched on July 12th. Located in Rockford, IL.

Hi! I’m Cecilia! I currently have 8 hens, one barred rock (Ruthie), 2 sex-link (Dorothy and Barbara), 3 EE (Leia, Sally, and Chermie), and 2 OE (Tina and Nayna). As you can see, my 4 year old took great pleasure in naming some of them 🤣. I’ve been at this about 6 months, having acquired my first...

Hey! out of our flock of 15, one little lady (she’s either a blue Plymouth Rock or an Olive Egger, I still can’t tell the difference. Feel free to enlighten me!) and she’s 5 months old. She *might* have started laying eggs just recently but there are 12 others that I’m trying to keep up with, as...

Hello 👋🏼 I have 6 chicks hatched May 28/29 - now 7 weeks old in these pictures. I’m still unsure of the sex on a few of them. Would appreciate your input! These are a mix of Easter/Olive eggers and black copper marans. These are the two I’m suspecting are cockerels. The black one for sure, the...

Hi there! I have a 12 week Olive Egger and a 12 week Silkie/EE mix and I’m questioning the gender for both. I’m a new backyard chicken owner and would appreciate insight from more experienced chicken owners. Thanks in advance for your help!

This chick was sent to me as a “surprise rare breed”. I can’t tell from its markings what it is. I am thinking either an Ameracauna or partridge olive egger. Unless there is something else it could be?

I started hatching from a cross that should be sex-linked but so far none of the chicks have hatched with the telltale white spot. I might’ve assumed all pullets, but now at 2 weeks it appears a blonde chick is developing barring. Cross is Wheaten Marans Rooster x Cream Legbar Hen. I was...

Hello, I’m MJ and I picked up my first 3 chicks back in late March. I started with 2 speckled Sussex pullets and 1 buff Orpington pullet. My buff was a sweet little thing but while waiting on being able to move to our new home with a yard (was delayed by almost 2 months :/) they went to my...

Ameraucana x2 and one olive egger pullet. They are tiny, a bit flighty, and getting settled in.

These were sold to me as sapphire olive eggers, born April 12th 2021...they’re small and look more like OEGBs... can anyone confirm or tell me what they are?
