    Hi everyone! Okay so I know it’s impossible to pinpoint this batch of chicks’ specific breeds, but I’m curious if y’all have any ideas of parent breeds, potential feathering patterns, or what breeds might be the most prominent based on what the chick looks like right now. Obviously just for fun...

    What breed is this layer hen?

    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.

I don't know if I can trust the age, breed, or gender, so I figured maybe y'all...

    Olive egger with blue earlobes

    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?

    Curious

    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?
