Does anyone have any first-hand experience crossing an ISA Brown hen with another non-sex-link rooster? We just had 2 eggs hatch that are ISA Brown hen x cream Olive Egger rooster. His mom was a BCM and dad was a Buff Ameraucana. The chicks, to my surprise, seem to follow the sexing images I...
I've googled and used info off this page so many times I figured I might as well join! I'm about a 10ish month chicken owner maybe less so far. Got eggs in an incubator already!
Hey everyone! A few weeks ago I posted asking wether a few of my chicks were hens/roos. I definitely have figured out the gender on two other chicks but my Olive Egger still has me guessing. He/She had grown a huge amount in a few weeks so I was wondering if anyone could tell me the gender a...
Hi all!
I recently purchased seven chicks and its probably still a bit early to confirm sexes and breeds for sure but I'd appreciate any help you could provide on this!
I know at least two chicks are not the breed we thought we bought, I now suspect they are Olive Eggers. The others I think...
I know it is a bit early at age 5 weeks, to tell in appearance. But if ya'll could possibly help me with this POSSIBLE cockrel OE. He/she's personality and stance is very different from the others.

Hi everyone! Back in early December, I rescued a late bloomer chick from a farm that didn't want it, presumably an Olive Egger but a mix of sorts (see a video of its fam members at the farm attached). It was born later than its siblings so it was by itself and was picking at some of the quail...
What would happen if a breed an Olive Egger Rooster and a Starlight Green Egger Hen Together? Would the eggs still be green? Either olive or light green?
Egg Production estimate? Egg Size?
Egg Color?
Chicken weight estimate?
Any help is appreciated!!
He’s on the younger side of maturity. Not sure the exact age. Anyone have guesses as to his breeds? I think he’s a mutt. Feathered feet, ear muffs and beard. Handsome fella!
thanks!
Hey all, I'm new here so I'm hopefully posting this in the right place!
We recently started our third flock of backyard birds and ended up with one rooster who was named Big Mama before we knew (oops)! For those wondering, we are definitely keeping his name Big Mama.
We are interested in...
Making a new update post because we're having trouble finding Parsley a new home. If anyone in my area has any suggestions please let me know. We are willing to drive a reasonable distance to re-home him. We've reached out to the MSPCA and they told us they prefer we find him a new home...
I have 2 roosters. One is a purebred EE from local breeder. He is so beautiful but I'm not sure he's the sibling to 2 EE hens. The breeder has 2 roo and 6hens so the odds are there
The only con is he does seem to be the 'top' rooster. He does fight but not very aggressively yet. The 2 older hens...
We would love to keep him, but unfortunately we aren't allowed to given we live in the burbs. He's been crowing already for a couple weeks - he's super friendly so far as we've been handling them and hand feeding them pretty often. We got him from our local Agway and I believe they get their...
Need major advice!
we’ve been battling some severe frostbite on our rooster. We live in Northern MN where every now and then our nights get down to -20 F. the other night it got down to -12F inside our chicken coop and that’s when our rooster got severe frostbite. He has had frostbite since the...
Hi All! One of the Olive Eggers I ordered from Cackle Hatchery ended up being a Cockerel! Formerly named Margaux. He hatched April 15th and has been free ranging for about a month now. Will eat treats from your hand and sometimes likes to sit on your lap. He is also nice to other chickens so...

I have two, what I think are little boys, who need to find new homes. I have a true Lavender Ameraucana and an F1 Olive Egger (Black Cooper Marans/Black Ameraucana). They're both great personalities. The Olive egger has beautiful thickly feathered feet and huge muffs. The Lavender is a clown and...
Hi All,
I have two baby roos that need a new home ASAP. They have been properly vaccinated for Marek's Disease and hatched on 5/23/18
They both have the same GORGEOUS Easter Egger dad who is the example picture on Cackle Hatchery's site. Their dad is an EXCELLENT flock protector and also loves...
