Meyer Hatchery - Green Queen/Olive Egger

[Bostonburbs]

Anyone ordered either of these breeds from Meyer this year? We are debating between the two. Temperament is most important, but - let’s be honest - we are hoping for a cute chicken as well. (I know, I know…they’re all cute!) Wondering how much variety there is, as I haven’t seen very recent posts commenting on Meyer birds from these breeds. Just curious!

I ordered a Green Queen, won't be ready until July though.

Temperament is up to the individual chicken.

I had gotten green queen, olive egger, bantam EE, and regular EE from Meyer. The green queen had a crest and and extra toe. She was a tad smaller than regular chicken feather legs. The olive egger was a crested hen regular legs. The bantam EE was a pretty yellow clean legged. The EE I got was black and had a poofy face, but laid a tan egg. All chickens are different, but my favorite personality wise was the bantam EE. Second favorite was the Green queen. I have an order in maybe I will get one!
