Onyx Olive Egger?

[WingItRanch]

Ok so just in case anyone is curious... Ideals new Olive Eggers are called "Mystic Olive Eggers." I got a few. I don't have Ideal's catalog but from what I understand, they're fibro and are supposed to lay a darker shade of Olive.

If anyone has the catalog, I'd love to know what they're description is! I'm curious what the mix is...

Update: they are not in Ideal's catalog at all. I guess it's super secret..

Here are what mine look like now that they're feathering. I think they look a lot like what @Chickman646547 posted.

Note: 3 of them have a coppery leakage. 1 is pure black so far. 2 /4 have crests. All have feathered feet.

Thank you for sharing! Our feed store orders from Ideal Poultry. I got Onyx eggers and Seafoam eggers and haven't been able to find info on either. Including their website. I'm wondering about egg color and sexing.

I think they're sex linked so if you have black ones with some copper showing at the necks, they're probably pullets. If you have a Barred looking one, I believe it's a cockerel. All mine all pullets..they're almost 12 weeks old so no eggs yet but I'll update when I get eggs.

I haven't heard of the seafoam ones.

These are my 2 week old Seafoam Eggers amd Onyx Eggers. They are growing super fast and the Onyx are very flighty.

I love the ones that are all black, black comb, and have the crest. Only one of mine is like that. So fun to see how they turn out! You should be getting eggs soon!
