I guess so. Though I was hoping for a green Egger.

Looked up my Meal Maker, & it's an Olive Egger.

I sent the hatchery a message asking about the chick, to get confirmation.

Ah. Maybe next year! I had a snake break in this morning and out of 4 6 week old pullets he ate 3. No cockerels, all pullets.

Yep, maybe next year. Maybe the Fibro EE, will give me green eggs. The olive Egger they sent as my Meal Maker is also male.

Snakes haven't been issue here. What type of snake got into the coop?

A speckled King Snake. Usually they only eat eggs. This time it ate a total of 4 chicks. When they were 5 weeks old I had a Blue Cochin Bantam rooster disappear. He was a chunk. Then yesterday it ate 1 of my 2 Blue Cochin Bantam pullets, my only Red Pyle OEGB pullet, and my only Millie Fleur pullet. All 6 weeks old. The Cochin Bantam was pretty big! I got in through another coop and found a hole to get in the chicks coop. I also had a Blue Cochin Bantam cockerel, 2 Millie Fleur cockerels, and a Golden Laced Sebright cockerel and it eats the hens. Grr!
