Hey there! So I have a couple Olive Eggers and a couple Barred Rocks and for some reason one of my Olive Eggers will not lay an egg one day and then lay two eggs the next day. She’s been pretty consistent the past week with skipping and then laying double. They will soon be one and this is...

Hey there! So I have an Olive Egger 10mths old. She has been acting fine all day and even got to eat fresh grass in the chicken tractor this afternoon. She didn’t want to lay an egg until about 6:30 tonight. She crawled in the nesting box and hasn’t moved since. I have a camera out there and...

Hello to whoever this finds! I needed some guidance for my chicken. Any info would help! I’ve got one olive egger (pictured) who is having trouble moving. If it means anything we have just returned after 5 days. No limps, but slow and very little movement. She still stands fine, not sure...

3 of the 4 chicks that I got were presumed males— the woman I got them from is reputable and rescues the roos. She traded me 3 presumed females for my very hand raised boys. I miss them but I can’t have roosters here! They’re about 4 weeks old, maybe a bit older. The new Olive egger chick and...

Hi all! Is this a marans or Olive egger, and male or female? 4 or so weeks old.
