Chicks are 7 weeks old olive eggers both bought as pullets but the lighter gray chick with the red comb is reallllly making me suspicious more and more everyday lol. Just curious what anyone elses opinions on gender would be for these chicks :) the picture of the wing is from the chick with the...
This is my baby Loretta Lynn, I have bonded with her from the begginging. When we first bought her and Patsy Cline her sister were labeled Olive eggers. I have looked up plenty picture and Information but all the olive egger pictures on Google look different. Is she a olive egger, are there...
One is 6 weeks old and the other is 7 weeks old. "A" hasn't crowed yet, but the comb and wattles look very pink for the age... "B" has crowed twice in 7 weeks, but the comb is still pale in comparison with the brother (pictured in 1st comment below) who has a dark red, larger comb. I was hoping...
I had 27 baby chicks hatch earlier in may (the 14th) under two broody hens. One baby has a strange lump on her right side. It seems like an air pocket, or it has fluid or something. It doesn’t seem to be bothering her at the time but I’m scared it may get bigger or she could get sick, or...
So I’ve noticed my 7-8 week old olive egger chick has developed a little poof on her head, and I was just wondering if anyone thinks she’ll have this as an adult as well. I hope she does, it’s super cute. I know that olive eggers aren’t an “official breed” so characteristics are a bit different...
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...
I thought this one was a pullet, however, I am getting some conflicting opinions. It is 12 weeks old, dad is BCM, mom is EE of some sort. Hackles feathers have a pointed pattern to them, but are physically rounded. Any input is appreciated!
Hi all!
I look up questions on here all the time, but finally made an account of my own. I've got about 25 laying hens in Tucson. Sell eggs at the farmers market.
I've always wanted to breed olive eggers and finally this year I have a good BCM roo and a good Amerucauna roo and set up their...
I have 1 Olive Egger, 1 Black Maran, & 1 Blue Maran Pullets. They are 6 & 7 weeks old ( they look a little younger to me to be honest). According to the person I got them from, they are all Pullets. But, I just don't feel confident that they are all Pullets. Anyone think one of these guys is a...
Hi there,
So I’m pretty sure I have two Roos & two hens. Would really appreciate any help and opinions on sex. They are 5 weeks old. The grey one is an Arucana & there is 2 copper Marrans & an olive egger.
Hey all! For fun, what breed mix does my olive egger resemble? She is almost twice the size of the others now. Was actually one of the smaller birds in the first week. She has feathered feet too. This is my first flock 😊
Here is a photo of her next to my welsummer, chili dog.
We were told we got lavender orpingtons, speckled Sussex, and light Brahma. I think we can differentiate those ones, but we also got olive eggers and ameracaunas; I can’t tell which they are… and I think there might be one more kind.
The first 5 photos are of the 3 chicks I can’t identify...
Noticed the curly tail on my supposed pullet this afternoon. (S)he is my favorite of my newest and I’m so sad because if she’s a he, he’s gotta go😭 New to Olive Eggers, so hoping there’s a chance it’s a she!
They have now hatched and would love if someone could help me distinguish between them and what breeds they might be!! EE and OE is such a broad term so I’m curious if anyone could tell what breeds they are based off appearance this young. Most are darker in color and have feathered legs except...
We just hatched two today! From my lavender olive eggers and look what color they are ! Totally dark with cream light belly’s kiwi is the silky broody hen her egg is going to be hatched as well soon but I am just really curious why these ones are so dark. Any idea?
