Black Olive Egger?

View attachment 2230204
This pullet is 11 weeks old, and I'm trying to figure out the cross. She's black with iridescent green feathers, and also orange undertones. Black feathered legs, too. And she's way bigger than my RIR and golden sexlink.
Unfortunately no, but she was a black version of this chick
im trying to figure out if these pullets I bought from our local feed store will be olive eggers like they claim. i’m thinking combo cuckoo maran and easter egger?

Both my grey and black olive eggers had feathered feet, so I kind think they're cuckoo maran crosses as well. The black one has a beard and muffs, but the grey doesn't. They're both HUGE. I guess I'll know in 2 months or do😁
 
My OE looked a lot like the chick pics you posted (see my profile pic), and she's essentially the grey version of your pullet. She's huge, bearded and clucky, but no feathered feet. The hatchery she's from says her dad was a Cuckoo Marans and her mom is a Ameraucana. She looks the same size as my RIR in this photo, but she's been a solid 1/3 bigger than my RIR and BR since day one.

This photo was taken about 13 weeks.

Aw, thanks. We are both very vain about her pretty feathers. She does bear a striking resemblance to Martin Van Buren, tbh.

Still waiting on eggs! She's only 14 weeks, but looking forward to the day she stops freeloading and gets to business. :)
