Sapphire Olive Egger journey

[ThatChicknlady]

This post will be about Sapphire Olive eggers and their colors from chicks - pullets - hens - then the egg colors they lay. These chicks came Hoovers Hatchery!
One is a light gray and the other black. Hopefully this will help someone when they are picking out their Sapphire Olive Egger chicks!

I have 2 sapphire olive eggers, as well! There is very little information on them, so hopefully, this thread will grow and more information will be available! Mine are 5 weeks old now. I'm hoping both are pullets, even though they feathered differently.
Pictures are from the day we got them to now.

The tufts! I love it! The guy at orschelns told me that when they are chicks you can tell the difference between a male and a female by their wings. A male will have high tucked up wings with no little feathers showing and no bump on his bum. The female will have some feather poking out and lower wings and she will have a bump on her bum. Not sure how accurate it is but he seemed like he knew what he was talking about. Guess we’ll find out!

Oh, okay! That sounds like it could be right!
