olive egger

Hello everyone! I never knew how deep into genetics you can dive when you start breeding and cross breeding to get fun variances! We have a mix of egg colors coming up in our flock and I’m looking for some help in better understanding the possible outcomes, and corrections on any wrong...

Hi all! I would like someone to dumb down olive Egger genetics to me and help me understand my current situation. I purchased olive egger chicks this spring and have been soooo eagerly awaiting my green eggs. My understanding when I purchased was that they are f2 - as they’re offspring of two...

Trying to figure out this breed so I can better understand down line genetics. I attached photo of hen & her egg. I think starlight green. Also would you call that a green egg or olive? They’re very difficult to candle.

Hey y'all! I have another questionable pullet on my hands. I bought 7 8-week old pullets from the same breeder, one already turned out to be a little Leghorn cockerel so now I'm a little paranoid about all of them. I don't know if I can trust the age, breed, or gender, so I figured maybe y'all...

I just accuired a couple of chickens last week that are about 13 weeks old. I was told that they are olive eggers but I don’t know much else about them or their parents. I have noticed that one of them has very pretty blue earlobes. Do y’all think her eggs will be blue?

I know very little about this chicken little. I don’t know the age but was told it was a pullet. I’m raising eyebrows over the smaller feathers in the butt tuft. Here’s what I know…Very skiddish temperament, was told she/he is an F1 olive egger. I’m so so hoping for a pullet, if chicken little...

Hey everyone! A few weeks ago I posted asking wether a few of my chicks were hens/roos. I definitely have figured out the gender on two other chicks but my Olive Egger still has me guessing. He/She had grown a huge amount in a few weeks so I was wondering if anyone could tell me the gender a...

Hi all! I look up questions on here all the time, but finally made an account of my own. I've got about 25 laying hens in Tucson. Sell eggs at the farmers market. I've always wanted to breed olive eggers and finally this year I have a good BCM roo and a good Amerucauna roo and set up their...

Does anyone have any name suggestions for our olive egger chick?

So all I know is olive egger. Anyone know specifically what this one is. I got 4 different olive eggers from someone (one of them being the frizzle behind her) but can anyone tell me the type of chicken my grumpy raptor is?

I have 1 Olive Egger, 1 Black Maran, & 1 Blue Maran Pullets. They are 6 & 7 weeks old ( they look a little younger to me to be honest). According to the person I got them from, they are all Pullets. But, I just don't feel confident that they are all Pullets. Anyone think one of these guys is a...

I'm still struggling to identify a few of my chickens and hopefully yall can help me! They are about 8.5 weeks old now. No one has tried to crow yet. I have seen some behaviors out of a few of them that have me leaning a certain way. If you think you know, can you please explain what you are...

I'm planning on selling these six week old chicks because I'm certain they're cockerels and I can't have that many roos where I am but I wanted some other opinions and to double check because I genuinely love both of them. The red one is probably an olive egger and the black and white one is...

Hello! So I bought some eggs that I was told were Sapphire Gems. They just hatched yesterday and surprise!!! Definitely NOT Sapphire Gems! They looks like Olive Eggers but the eggs they came out of were light brown. Any ideas? Thank you!

Hi there! I've much enjoyed stumbling upon threads of weekly chick growth/progression so I figured its finally time to throw my hat in the ring! I purchased all sexed pullets and I'm pretty sure I have 1 or more cockerels on my hands (so it goes). I'm a first time chicken owner in a residential...

Noticed the curly tail on my supposed pullet this afternoon. (S)he is my favorite of my newest and I’m so sad because if she’s a he, he’s gotta go😭 New to Olive Eggers, so hoping there’s a chance it’s a she!

Does anyone have chickens that have green feet? My new chicks are ameraucana and Marans so I'm not sure what kind of mix she might be. I'm excited to see what she turns out to look like.

Last year we purchased a rooster that we thought was exceptionally beautiful and great attitude. He was the result of an Olive Egger rooster over a Rhode Island hen. He was thick in body, heavy feather with a short fat comb, thick legs. We then bred the rooster to our two grey leghorns, two...

I did this cross because I had wanted a BCM hen, but made some olive lemonade before the BCM cockerel (straight run didn't result in a female) went to a new home. I set the next 7 eggs my pullet CCL laid and this olive egger, who was the one I kept out of the 3 fertile eggs, has finally come...
