Such a cute little chick! Thanks for sharing
Hehehehe hopefully they’ll reveal their egg colours to you soon!

I can only hope!

UPDATE: She layed her first egg!!!! Granted I was surprised by her egg color cause it wasn't olive, but I'm not complaining it's still so pretty!

Gorgeous egg. I would call that a pale olive or khaki green. Congratulations!

Amazing!! It looks gray!! I wonder how the color of her eggs will change over the next 2 weeks.

still a really nice coloured speckly egg! I have a bunch of four week old olive Eggers, but decided I would prob prefer a paler green like yours! I’ve recently seen the term “sage egger” which I think is a welsummer cross blue layer. Yours looks like a sage

Funny that you mention it, I first heard the term sage egger just the other day! It is definently possible that she is a welsummer cross with something cause I know the breeder had welsummers because I got another bird from them that was welsummer x cream legbar, although I don't know where she got her barred from. Oh well I suppose it doesn't really matter I love them all no matter what breed they are.

That is so funny! The cream legbar rooster is barred so his offspring can be barred but not always depending on what the mum is (that’s about as much as I’ve picked up on chicken genetics! ). But yes, I love all my mutts too no matter what they are.

Oooooooh! I guess I never realized cream legbars could be barred! Thanks!

She Layed!!! And she did not disappoint! Here is her first green eggs next to one from our RIR and Buff Orpington. She must be a barred Rock mix, her egg is longer, similar to a barred rock shape.

Also, I emailed D2D Farms and they said their olive Eggers are a Barred RockXEaster Egger mix.

Its interesting to me the my OE from D2D farms has a rose comb, but the others posted don't.
