Mohawk on an Olive Egger?

[Jld13]

She’s seven weeks old. Is it normal for an OE to have a Mohawk? I’ve never had this breed and still learning. She’s very small next to my 7 week old sapphire gem. Thank you!

It looks like your Olive Egger probably has Cream Legbar genes, hence the mohawk . They are awesome little birds and she will lay beautiful eggs for you!

Easter Eggers in general aren't really a breed, but more of a concept where we are going to mix 2 egg color traits to get a specific different egg color trait. All other traits are irrelevant. This results in wildly different bird builds, colors, ect.

For example, I have two birds that could both be considered easter eggers, one is wide, yellow, has mustache, lays olive eggs. Other is narrow, yellow, has mohawk, lays light blue eggs. Might have mixed up those egg colors, don't currently remember, but yea, EEs come in MANY forms.

My OE has one, too. She's working on eyebrows to match.

My OE has one as well, though I call it a tuft. She's half Cream Legbar, half Welsummer.
