Member Reviews: Olive Egger

I have been breeding my own version of these birds by crossing both Silver Laced Wyandottes and Black Australorp Roos with my Wheaten EE hens.  I end up with these gorgeous blue birds or blue laced white birds.  They are so pretty.  I even ended up with a rumpless roo during one cross.  My EEs lay a light green egg.  My Olive Eggers lay a really pretty Khaki green egg, not as dark as some I have seen, but still pretty.  

I have been breeding my Lavender Ameracuana chickens with a French Black Copper Marans rooster. The chicks are absolutely gorgeous. Super friendly, curious, good foragers, and seem to be maturing rather quickly. I do not have any at point of lay yet, but it will be very soon. Can't wait!! If I could give these more than 5 stars I would!!

olive eggers are an unushual breed; they lay olive green eggs and are small copaired to other chicken breeds they also have striped fethers
