Sapphire Olive Egger Rooster

[NurseDawn]

I have 2. One unfortunately turned out to be a rooster. I suspect the second olive Egger I have may be a rooster too! Ugh!

Update. They don't have any pictures of the rooster. :/ So I'm going to start a new thread dedicated to Sapphire Olive Eggers from Hoover's so the progress and information will be available for people in the future.

I. Have a Rooster from them. How do I upload my pictures on here?

I'm having zero luck finding any pictures of this particular chicken. I have 2 1/2 week old Sapphire Olive Egger chicks from Hoover Hatchery. (NOT Sapphire Gems). There is very little information on them anywhere. I really want to know what the rooster for this breed would look like as I suspect I have one. But I can't find a picture anywhere. Not even the hatchery website. I find all kinds of generic Olive egger pics but not of this specific one. Does anyone have a picture of a full grown Sapphire Olive Egger Rooster? I'll put a picture of my little one here.

I have one from them. How do I upload my pictures?

I have one from them. How do I upload my pictures?

There is a button in the posting window that looks very vaguely like a photo -- a sort of rectangle with a dot and a thing that might be a mountain if you squint at it really hard. Click on that and it should give you the option to choose a photo.

You can also do it via the "attach files" button, which then requires you to insert the photo into the message after it's been attached (the advantage being that you can choose multiple photos for the same post).

I have a 5yo Sapphire Olive Egger from Hoover Hatchery. She still lays a few eggs a week. I crossed her with my Black Copper Marans. The resulting hen looks very much like her but with the larger size of the marans. She lays great! Her eggs are a light brown with dark brown “freckles”.

That would be nice because I have a couple I got this year and I'm thinking one might be a rooster as well, it was really late on getting tail feathers

Sapphire olive eggers may have long or short tail feathers. It's first season with this breed. I bought pullets but actually ended up with 1 rooster. He was indistinguishable for a while he is 10 weeks old today and crowed for the first time today.
