    Olive Eggers

    Hello there, Alfie here Question: when breeding to make olive eggers 1’s, 2’s and so on does it matter witch parent lays blue or brown? For example: I’m going put my Blue/green Silverudd roster on some Copper moran hens. Would this work? Thank you all!!! 🤓

    Pullets or Roos?? Cream Legbar x FCM mixes

    I bought these 2 from a lady downsizing her flock. They are olive Eggers, they were 14 week's when I got them. The cross parents are cream legbar and FCM. I can't tell if they are roosters or pullets. They are 2 days from 17 weeks old in the photos. Any information would be greatly appreciated...

    Advice needed: Solo Roo

    Hi everyone! Back in early December, I rescued a late bloomer chick from a farm that didn't want it, presumably an Olive Egger but a mix of sorts (see a video of its fam members at the farm attached). It was born later than its siblings so it was by itself and was picking at some of the quail...

    8 week old OE - cockerel or pullet?

    Hi there. Here is my now 8 week old Olive Egger mix. S/he is SO friendly. I used to think s/he was a boy, but then her/his comb stopped progressing ahead of the other chicks. And now, her/his tail feathers look a bit pointy to me, and I’m not sure I can rule out that this chick is a boy. What...

    Countdown to the first egg. Buckle up, it could be awhile....

    As of October 5th, my 15 pullets are 18 weeks old. I also have a cockerel from my MIL who is 2-4 weeks older. I am (im)patiently waiting for my first egg. In the meantime I’m going to post a profile for each of my chickens. One a day. Hopefully it will help the next 16 days go fast and maybe...

    I need help!!

    Back story, my brother in law went about an hour away to a massive hatchery and bought about 10 different breeds of baby chicks some of which were for us, when he got home some started dying and of course some were the ones we wanted, so the breeds kinda got mixed up, we ended up with only 2...

    I recently left city life & corporate America after 20+ years and moved to rural southeast Missouri, to restart/rebuild the family farm where my dad grew up. I got my first chickens --4 Dominique hens and a Rooster--from Cackle Hatchery in June 2019. I thought I might expand the flock in 2020...

    What breeds are these?

    I ordered 3 black stars, an Easter Egger, an Olive Egger, and a Cuckoo Maran. I can only identify one Black Star in the group. The one with gray feathers and a black head is much fluffier and has wider feathers than the rest. She is quite standoffish.The multi gray one looks like a pigeon and...

    Second Opinion please!

    This is my first year with any chicks that havent been sexlink production reds of some kind or already sexed pullets, so while I'm pretty confident about some, I'm nervous about my guessing! There has been no crowing yet... My Olive Egger is 20weeks... maybe 21, but out of the 8 I had, I was...

    Looking for people experienced with wheaten ameraucana mixes to help sex my chicks!

    I have 1 wheaten ameraucana, and 3 olive Eggers from the same breeder. They are wheaten ameraucana and I think maran mix. They have feathered feet and pea combs light slate colored legs. I think I've come the conclusion at least 1 is a blue wheaten cockerel. I'd like confirmation on the others...
