This is my baby Loretta Lynn, I have bonded with her from the begginging. When we first bought her and Patsy Cline her sister were labeled Olive eggers. I have looked up plenty picture and Information but all the olive egger pictures on Google look different. Is she a olive egger, are there different color/breed olive Eggers? Also I know its probably to early but I am getting nervous on whether she is a roo or hen. Since we can't have Roo I am praying she's a hen.

Small picture are when we first brought her home at about a week old. The bigger ones are at about 4wks. I know if might be early to tell and I know I read somewhere olive Eggers can be hard to tell but just getting a gage on gender and confirmation on breed lol.

Olive Eggers are just mixes of a chicken with the blue egg gene and a chicken with the dark brown egg gene. They can be any breed mix. Usually the dark brown comes from Marans or Welsummers. The blue can come from Crested Cream Legbars, Ameraucana, Araucana, or Easter Eggers (mixed themselves).

To me, It's part of the fun because you never know what they'll look like.

For now, I don't see any sign that yours is a cockerel.
