Olive Egger hens?

[chickenenthusiasts5698]

I have 2 blue hens that we’re sold to me as Olive Eggers from TSC. They personally don’t look like olive eggers to me but I got a blue/green eggs today but don’t know if one of them laid it or my other Easter Egger. Any guesses? The 2 hens on the roost are the ones in question. (I would like to add they aren’t cramped in there I had just threw some scratch into their coop and they all ran in)

They could be. Looks and eggs are not always correlated.

I agree with you that they don't look like Olive Eggers, especially with the wattles.

Wattles control egg color?

Those don’t look like my olive eggers but I know there are different crosses out there to obtain olive eggs.

sorry I’m not helpful. Can we see a picture of your pretty egg???

Wattles don't control egg color, I have never seen an Olive Egger with wattles. I think it is a different breed.

I know, I’m just saying, they aren’t usually always correlated.

Oh sorry, I thought it was a question for me.

I would think that they're likely Sapphire Gems or Production Blues of some name. Olive Eggers don't follow a specific look necessarily, but since they are all blue, those seem more likely

No, I was just trying to make a point, it was a rhetorical question.
