    3 week old “olive egger pullet”

    bought this chick from TSC listed as a “olive egger pullet” from week one I’ve been thinking it’s a cockerel due to lack of tail feathers and size of comb. Chick is now three weeks old. Any guesses what breeds were crossed to make him? What about sex?

    Hen or Roo? 9 Week old Olive Eggers

    The rest of the gals I'm confident in, but these two are confounding me. My first batch I'm having to figure out! I'm worried that their feathers are starting to look so pointy around the neck? But they are my only two olives and they look so similar I can't tell if they are both roo's or if...

    Easter Egger

    Easter Eggers are not a standardised and recognised chicken breed, but they are mixed crossbred X chickens created in barnyards by hobby farmers all around the world. They carry the gene of the blue and green egg shell. This means that breed like rumpless araucanas, crested british araucanas...

    Barred gene

    Hello peeps, I have a genetics question. I crossed a blue roo with my olive egger who is half cuckoo maran, therefore she has the barring gene and will give sexed off springs that are barred, only males will be barred. My question is, will all chicks have a dot on the top of the head or only...

    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...

    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...
