    Can you help with breed and gender?

    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...

    Hatching / Breeding- when? Genetics and coloring.

    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 and her babies

    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...

    Easter egger cockerel or pullet?

    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...

    Sapphire Olive Egger Rooster

    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...

    What color is my chicken?

    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.

    Sick Chicken - Possible Gapeworm, Coccidia...

    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...

    Mystery chick with crest- legbar?

    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...

    Gender in question...

    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...

    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?

    crossing a wyandotte and a cream legbar?

    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...
