EE or Olive Eggers?

[Nicole_Hutchison]

Just picked up the chicks below. Hatched on 12/12/20 - 5 1/2 weeks old. Easter Eggers or Olive Eggers? And any guess on gender?

What did you buy them as?

They might be a bit young. @Overo Mare what do you think?

They were sold as Easter Eggers OR Olive Eggers (the lady I bought them from could not tell them apart) - they chicks ended up getting mixed.

I doubt they are laying eggs yet, no way to know if they will be olive. Olive Egger is a subsection is Easter Egger.

 

[TheOddOneOut]

Olive Eggers are a subcategory of Easter Eggers....so we can safely say EEs without being wrong either way.

Easter Eggers and Olive Eggers are essentially the same thing. The only difference is that the EE is a blue egg layer crossed with a light brown egg layer, and the OE is a blue egg layer crossed with a dark brown egg layer. You'll only know the difference once they start laying.
It's a bit early to tell their genders, but they all look like girls for now.

Well, I guess you'll know when they start laying eggs.

So it's a bit young to tell anything. I will go out a limb and say the blue circled ones are very likely pullets, while it's too early to tell on the others. I also suspect the green dotted ones to be Olive Eggers due to nothing more than the similarities I see in them to most Olive Eggers. Absolutely could be wrong, but that's my guess for fun

For now I do actually agree with all your guesses.
