    The Olive-Egger thread!

    I have several Ameraucanas and one of them is bluish/gray and she lays olive colored eggs! She's one of my nicest, friendliest hens, always comes up on the porch right away to see if there are any treats. She came in a bunch of pullets I purchased last spring. Her name is Miss Jean and she's...

    Salmon Favorelles?

    I have two Favorelle pullets and one of them is absolutely vicious! I've never had a chicken be so mean! She literally bites me and pulls my skin, holds on tight with her beak like she wants to draw blood! The other one is just the opposite. I had read they're a very good beginner's breed or...

    This is Goldie (black sex-link), two years old this spring. She's a very funny gal with a very brave personality! As you can see, she's helping herself to one of the bird feeders. Cocktail showed her how to do this. They're the only two who rob this feeder! Hahaha!!!

    This is Old Gal....she died a couple weeks ago. She was five years old. A golden comet. Very sweet hen and laid lots of beautiful brown eggs. She had sore feet and legs so wasn't able to get as much exercise. That's why she's so fat. Poor Old Gal! :(
