    The Olive-Egger thread!

    Ok, here are mine from Meyer. They have a little more color now as these were taken just before the site moved. Unnamed rooster (yes he was wanted) Hazel Blue Piper (My favorite! She loves to be petted and to sit on my hand.)

    The Olive-Egger thread!

    @pioneerchick816, yep mine were chipmunks too, and one is a male. They're about 5 weeks old now too and those two have crest feathers. So cute! My other two: one black with feathered legs, one blue with muffs and a beard. My two welsummer crosses do look like kategreen's chick, except with...

    The Olive-Egger thread!

    Does anyone have pics of a Meyer legbar x welsummer cross? They say in their magazine that they have two different lines, one is legbar x welsummer and the other is maran x ameraucana. I think I have two of each and I'm trying to see what my male might turn out to look like.

    The Olive-Egger thread!

    Hi everyone! I recently ordered 3 OE pullets and one cockerel from Meyer. About a week ago I was able to identify the boy. He's one of the brown chipmunk ones, he has a single comb that at 3 weeks is very prominent. He towers over the others. The other brown also has a single comb while the...

    Olive egger rooster with EE hen???

    Most of mine lay blue, or extremely pale green. Also wondering if the chicks will look EE-ish. I've always had EEs but just ordered OE hens and a roo.

    EE Roos!

    For those of you that got your EEs from a hatchery order... did you end up with either an unexpected male, or an extra chick in the order that ended up being a male. I think I have the second one.... at 4 weeks old, I believe I'm seeing the start of 3 rows on the comb of one of my EEs. I ordered...

    Easter Egger club!

    Here are my 3 EEs at just a few days old. The other 4 chicks are RIRs and Welsummers. Here they are at nearly 3 weeks old. Yes I am impatient on waiting to see what colors they turn out to be. I ordered 2 EE pullets and the hatchery sent 3, so I'm kinda prepared that one is a male...

    Easter Egger club!

    Wow, you all have some very pretty EEs!! Here are my newest three. The other 2 pairs are Welsummers and RIRs. The hatchery sent an extra EE, which makes me think one might be a male, but I'm a little excited at that thought. Roos are so pretty and I already have 3 other EEs that I would finally...

    Link to telling sex of Rhode Island Red Rooster and Hens

    Does the line on the head have to be continuous on females, or can it be broken a bit? I have 2 RIR chicks that are 3 days old and they both have a broken line down their head

    My new batch arrived unexpectedly yesterday!

    So this was my first time ordering chicks in the mail. I've bought from local stores and had a hen hatch them before, but this was completely new. I thought I did every thing right though... I called the post office ahead of time to make sure I knew what they typically did with delivering...

    1st time ordering chicks

    So I have ordered 6 chicks from Chickens for Backyards. They ship is a couple of weeks. What should I expect? The site says that the post office will likely call me when the chicks arrive, is this correct? What has been your experience with ordering?

    Tractor Supply and Atwoods breeds

    I'm in the market for a new batch of chicks. I really only need 3, but I plan to buy 6 and get 2 of each breed that I want. I'm looking for RRs, EEs, and a really dark egg layer. I've checked online at several different sites and either the breeds I want aren't available right now, or I have to...

    Feathers "rotting" off

    So where do I start? I've never seen one molt like she's doing. She hatched chicks in August and seemed to be molting around that time or soon after. As she moves about, bits of feathers fall off. This first picture is what the feathers look like as they begin to fall off. Her lower back is much...
