hi! My name’s Jackie, this is my first post. I’m in WA, and we just got our first chicks this year. I bought 2 olive eggers and 2 black copper marans from a local farm (plus 2 ameraucanas from our farm store). The farmer put 4 black, nearly identical chicks in the box and I don’t know which is...
Hi all, I have my first rooster. He is 4 months old and has been quite busy with my hens the last few weeks. My hens are all over a year. Is there a specific age that my rooster needs to be to be fertile? Or is he good to go?
Also, I’m wondering how the genetics and coloring will work. I do not...
Juniper, our Olive Egger, really wanted to become a mother so on Saturday I bought 4 baby chicks from our local feed store.
2 Red Sex Links, 1 Barred Rock, and 1 Black Australorp. We actually got the Black Australorp by mistake because they were in with the Barred Rocks but I love it already...
this is more for future reference as I'll keep it well up to date. Chicks all hatched here and are 1-3 weeks old guesses on gender are welcome ☺️
Chick A: mottled houdan 1 week
Chick A: mottled houdan 3 weeks
Chick B: black Ameraucana x Easter egger 1 day
Chick B: Black Ameraucana x Easter...
I have some 2.5 month old olive eggers here, but one of them is throwing me through a loop. She’s much more pullet-like than her brothers which are clearly roosters, but she has a brighter comb and waddles than my other pullets of the same age but perhaps that’s just her. Can anyone tell me if...
I have a beautiful sapphire olive egger that turned out to be a rooster. I assume he is a cross between a blue copper Marans (Blue plumage and feathers on legs) and crested cream Legbar (crest). He is not an aggressive rooster at all. While my other roosters have pecked me when I go to pick them...
I have an over abundance of fertile hatching eggs every week and end up giving them to family and friends to eat. I have fertile hatching eggs from and Olive Egger Roo and the following breeds:
Easter Egger
Blue Ameraucana
Barred Plymouth Rock
Lavender Orpington
Welsummer
Speckled Sussex
Silver...
Can someone one identify what color this chicken's feathers would be classified as? He/She is either an Easter Egger or Olive Egger, but I have never seen a color pattern quite like it.
I have an Olive Egger hen who has been yawning (as if something is stuck in her throat) regularly for the past few days. Other than the yawning, she was very active, eating well, etc. However, today I saw her sleeping/resting more than normal, and when feeding mealworms she was not as excited...
I had thought this girl was a wellsummer until a couple days ago when she started developing a crest. She is four weeks old today.
She came from Meyer so my options are cream legbar, olive egger, or lakeshore egger I think. Any thoughts? She’s one of my bravest and most personable chicks, I...
I have most of my new flock figured out except these two black/copper Olive Eggers - they’re almost 8 weeks Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas over BCM.
This is my 12 week old Ollie who I’m quite certain is a pullet.
Jazzy and Thorn are the 2 in question. My guess is pullets also. Their combs have...
Hi! I am so happy to be part of this amazing site! I have already learned so much in the past couple of days while reading over a few things. My daughter's second grade class hatched some chicks and we ended up getting the last 3. We have 1 Barred Rock and 2 that are a project the farm (where...
Blurry images of chicks.
They wouldn’t stay still and they didn’t like the flash. Oops.
Does anyone want to guess as to what any of these chicks breeds are?

So I'm completely new to chicken genetics and was looking up how olive egger chickens come to be. I know if you have a marans rooster and a blue egg laying hen like an ameraucana or legbar you can hatch out an olive egger. I was curious what you would get with a blue laced red wyandotte...
Hi, all! I'm new to the forum as a member, finally figured out how to get registered, lol - but have had chooks for almost 10 years. Last year all 5 of my Buff Orps went broody on me and we ended up with 8 chicks hatched. Of the 4 that survived to adulthood, 1 is a rooster (so now we have 2)...
