    Olive Egger chicks: males?

    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...

    5 week old Olive Egger from Meyer Hatchery. Behind her is what I think is a Green Queen. She needs more time.

    Help!! Baby Chick weird lump

    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...

    Fluff on olive egger’s head

    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...

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...

    12 wk OE - Hen or Roo

    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!

    Cant tell if my chickens are really pullets

    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...

    3 week old olive egger. What mix is she?

    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.

    Breed identification!

    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...

    I bought EE/OE/Black Copper Maran hatching eggs

    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...
