    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!

    Are these 10 week old chicks roosters?

    Hi, I am raising some chicks that I hatched from eggs. They were a mix of olive eggers, copper marans, and I forget what else. We had 8 healthy chicks hatch out of 10 eggs so the coop is getting a little crowded and I want to give away a couple roosters (we live in a city and don't want to keep...

    What would an Olive egger crossed with a Wyandotte be ?

    Would they basically be olive eggers? Got a potential rooster olive egger and 4 colors of wyandotte hens. What egg color of layers would come from the offspring?

    Fluff on olive egger’s head

    So I’ve noticed my 7-8 week old olive egger chick has developed a little poof on her head, and I was just wondering if anyone thinks she’ll have this as an adult as well. I hope she does, it’s super cute. I know that olive eggers aren’t an “official breed” so characteristics are a bit different...

    Hi all, Our 3.5 year old laying hen was acting normally yesterday, but upon coming out of her coop this morning proceeded to drink water for about 10 minutes straight. She would not stop, even when we tried to lure her away with treats. We examined her and found some messy feathers around...

    breeding a cream OE rooster with a Blue OE hen = ?

    We recently bought chicks from a small homestead breeder and all ended up being roosters that only have green and blue egg genetics. We are considering keeping 1-2 of the roosters for a few months to breed to our small flock of hens (different breeds) for more variation in feather/egg colors...

    Olive Egger roo or pullet

    We have four (more) olive eggers and one almost seems to be a roo. They are six weeks old, and I will be sharing in eight as well. But is it showing signs of roo feathers? Our other roos were very easy to tell. This one not so much. I've debated and waited and we've gone back and forth on...

    How can I "make" an olive egger?

    Hi I was just curious about how I could get olive eggs, I heard that you can cross a brown layer with a blue layer and you get an olive egger, but last year my sapphire gem roo bred with my easter egger hen and their daughter just lays easter egger light blue eggs, not olive eggs. Does anyone...
