Mine are 10 weeks old, so I still have 2-3 more months! It cannot come soon enough I really miss having Olive Eggs in the cartons.


I'll have to find a good home for this OE cockerel soon, he is a good calm cockerel so far, friendliest chick out of the hatch!

I am hoping I have hatched out some OE's this summer, so am subscribing.......... and hope to get this entire thread read! Quick question, do all OE's have willow colored legs? TIA

No. My Cl x welsumer have dark yellow legs and my CL marans have grey/dark legs that are feathered. What breeds did you use to make your OE's?
You might get willow colored legs if you used Easter eggers.

Quote: I crossed Lavender Am with Marans and Barnevelders. Hmmm, guess I will have to hang on them all til they start laying!!!
