Multi-Generational Olive Layers - all shades included!

[alicefelldown]

Up for auction: 12+ eggs from our two project Olive pens. The best part about Olive Layers is all the different shades you can get right? Well, to increase the options, we have split our 1st and 2nd generation olive girls into two pens - you will hatch chicks that will lay all over the spectrum, from light sage green, teal, and golden olive to dark olive and green.

Pen 1 contains a handsome Black Copper Marans rooster with several blue and black olive laying hens. We have paired our lighter green layers with this male to deeper their olive drab color. One of my favorite teal layers is in this pen!

Pen 2 contains a wonderful Splash Ameraucana rooster (pips&peeps) paired with our Black Copper Marans hens & darker green/olive layers. The eggs these chicks will lay will be a richer green/olive - due to their father's vibrant blue genetics.

Your chicks will be either blue or black, with copper highlights.

Now onto the best part - the eggs!!

Eggs will ship on 4/4 (Monday) so payment needs to be made at the end of the auction. Paypal only please.

We ship flat rate priority ($15), and regional ($9) if available based on your zip code.

Please also note that even as carefully as your eggs will be shipped, we cannot guarantee that there will be no breakage in transit. We also cannot guarantee the percentage of your hatch as the incubators temperature and humidity are very variable. Fertility has been fantastic for these birds - I have a whole bunch in the incubator right now on day 16!

Thanks and Happy Bidding!!

The girls have been laying fantastically here, so we would like to offer the second place bidder a dozen of their own!!

First place will still get big box full of 12+ carefully wrapped eggs shipped on Monday, April 4th.

Second place will have the opportunity to also receive 12+ eggs if they so choose, for shipping also on Monday, April 4th!

The first picture in the auction shows the range of olive/green/teal shades you will get from the chicks you hatch.


The two pictures above are the actual eggs you will get (including any laid today!) and will include brown Marans eggs so you will have 1st through 3rd generation layers.

The Ameraucana roo has the following hens:
# Pure BCM. These chicks will be your first gen that will lay teal-green and pale sage.
# 1/4 Pene / 1/4 Ameraucana / 1/2 Marans. These hens are 2nd gen, who lay darker golden olive. Their chicks are 3rd gen which will be a brighter green.

The BCM roo has the following hens:
# Teal Layer. She is a Ameraucana / Marans mix that is heavier on the Ameraucana side. Her chicks will be darker olive drab – more green than gold.
# 1/2 Ameraucana / 1/2 Marans. These hens are 1st generation that lay the above pale sage green eggs. Their chicks will be 2nd gen and lay darker golden olive.
# 1/2 Pene / 1/2 Ameraucana. This hen lays a lovely olive egg. Her chicks are the 2nd gen darker golden olive above.

Good Luck everyone!
