    We have four OE that are currently laying (the others are five weeks old and not in flock) Sharing their colored eggs over the past couple of weeks as the last two days I have gotten pale minty(ish) green ones from them! Lol Yes, we did change feed, from commercial to a feed mill, same...

    Which cockerel would you keep?

    Hi everyone! I have two separate broods of chicks growing right now. One set is 2 weeks old and with a momma hen, the other batch is 8 weeks old and was just weaned. All are with the main flock since I hate integrating birds. The older chicks are all marans mixes (BCM and chocolate marans) and...

    No vent holes on chinese incubator

    I have a 35$ cheapo incubator for my first hatch, 10 out of 12 eggs have embryos and I'm on day 18. I've seen reviews of this one with fluffy chicks running around inside that also had ducks in the same batch so I think I'm good but there's no obvious ventilation. Unless the lip around the dome...

    Breed ideas for these chicks? Wyandotte, Marans, Welsummer, and Ameraucana mixes

    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...

    Grow with us! Week by Week Progression of Straight Run Chicks.

    Howdy! I purchased 5 straight run chicks from Alchemist Farms. I thought it would be fun to do a week by week progression of these chicks, while guessing Roos/Hens. I'll be starting this progression at Week 2 and posting an update once a week. Type your guesses! I honestly have no idea but am...

    Mixed up batch of chicks! OE, EE, Australorp?

    Can you help me ID my hens? We have six 6 1/2 month old chicks, some of whom the store had in the wrong bins. I thought I had figured out what breeds they all are, but was corrected in another thread by https://www.backyardchickens.com/members/ilovemychicks08.609587/ I think @Ilovemychicks08...

    Olive egger thread

    Hi y’all! I’m working on starting an olive/ Easter egger project. Would love to see photos of everyone’s blue or green layers and the crosses used create these wonderful birds!! Definitely most interested in trying to find a balance in variety of physical color as well as egg color.

    Olive egger vs Green egger????

    Hey guys!!! I was at my local north 40 and I saw these chickens that they will have available soon. One day green egger and the other says olive. I was wondering what the difference is other than the look of the chicken! I am looking to add a second olive egger to the flock that lays a deep...

    Having fun with egg color genetics!

    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...

    Olive Eggers laying browns

    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...

    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.

    Olive Egger Pullet? 13 weeks

    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...

    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?

    Pullet or cockerel? I’m sooo unsure!

    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...
