Back in June we got 4 chicks from our local feed supply store who get their chicks from a reputable hatchery. These chicks were clearly marked and verified by the store employee to be Olive Eggers. However, I just happened to stumbled upon a photo of a Partridge Cochin and now that they’re older and grown into their colors, I’m pretty much convinced that’s what they are. The only reason I’m not fully sold on them being Partridge Cochin is because I know Olive Eggers are a crossbreed between two types of chicken. It doesn’t really matter necessarily, all I care about is that they lay eggs… I’m mostly just curious. Here’s a few pictures of our hands. Let me know what you think.

I think you're 100% correct, they look like PC's to me, not OE's. Very pretty pullets though, ours tended to go broody quite often too, so they make good broodies.
That’s good to know! They’re very pretty, I’m just a little bummed, I was excited about the green eggs haha
