    Why aren’t Whiting True Blues more popular?

    In reading various sources about creating green & olive colored egg layers I have noted that the WTB’s are mentioned far less frequently in comparison to the CCL. Am I right or is my perception skewed? And if I’m right, why? The WTB doesn’t seem as popular to own simply as a blue egg producer...

    A continuation of this hatch-a-long... https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/flock-restart-hatch-along.1651317/ All 11 (I had a 100% hatch rate!) are happily in the brooder. I know who some of these chicks are, but some of them I am guessing on because they hatched overnight. In egg #...

    Egg color?

    My hen that I hatched out last summer just laid this egg. She is a cross between my barnevelder hen and my Easter Egger rooster. Has anyone seen disoriented speckling like this? And will she continue to lay eggs like this? 🥰 love how cool it looks and am hoping it does.

    I'm planning to hatch chicks for sale for the first time soon.

    I've been around small scale chicken flocks my whole life. My grandma had chickens, my mom had chickens, and I've had a flock of around a dozen for the past 5 years. This year I'm upscaling and doing things differently. I currently have 5 roosters, 35 hens, and one pekin duck hen. I have...

    My Cracked-In-the-Head Olive Egger and Her Weird Nesting Spot. Want to help me name her?

    So, I bred some olive eggers this past year and decided to keep one. She's turned out to be a bit cracked-in-the-head. Instead of using the semi-private nest boxes everyone else is content to use (4 nest boxes ought to be enough for 8 laying hens, at least, that's what I thought), she has...

    Olive Eggers Pecking

    Hello! I've been having feather pecking issues for the first time and it's lasted months! We've downsized our flock to see if that would help but I fear it's a habit now and I'm not sure how to snap them out of it. I've noticed it has been worst with my Olive Eggers. They seem like they cannot...

    Sidney is an F2 Olive Egger whose mother was a very expensive FBCM and father was a very fast (and lucky) EE. She lays a gorgeous deep olive green egg.

    3 week old EE and OE

    I'm taking care of my friend 6 chicks until they're off heat. The EEs are about 3 weeks the OE is 4 weeks. We are both curious about what they will end up looking like. Would love to know what others think also 🥰

    Olivia's mom & dad? (Olive egger parents ID)

    Hi! I'm new here and this is my first post so please let me know if I'm doing anything wrong ☺️ This is my darling Olivia. I got her as a chick in March from my local feed store and she's an olive egger. I'm wondering what breeds her parents could be, just out of pure curiosity! What do y'all...

    Mystery Chicks!! Help me decipher what they might be :)

    I recently had a hen go broody and I got some fertilized eggs from my neighbor. She successfully hatched 2 of them and they are now almost a week old! They are happy and healthy and living with the rest of my flock. I know one hatched from a brown egg and the other from a dark green egg. Does...

    Goldie gets to try to hatch

    Just a journal of how -Goldie- our monthly broody 6 day jailer, gets to try hatching her own eggs. We only gave her four. And maybe it will help her demeanor. We are at wits end with her so hubby thought we could try. Put them under her today (was waiting for another egg from Beardie, as her...

    Get a Marans or an Araucana rooster for Olive layers?

    Hi all! 🙋🏽‍♂️ I want to breed my own olive layers. I currently have 2 Araucanas, 1 Easter egger that lays turquoise eggs and 2 Marans hens. What would be the best cross to achieve olive eggs? Cross a Marans rooster with the Araucanas and Easter egger, or an Araucana rooster with the Marans...

    She’s an Olive Egger but…

    So I have this pretty baby… I do know she’s an Olive Egger, but what two breeds do you think she is mixed with? She does have feathered legs/feet. Slate colored legs. Dark gray feathers except around neck. And it looks like probably a pea comb. She is about 8-9 weeks old. TIA!

    Boy or girl?
