This is my Olive Egger pullet, bred by Itty Bitty Farm in Knoxville, TN. She’s the result of crossing a Black Copper Marans Rooster with a purebred Ameracauna hen (I’m not sure what color the hen was). She’s 5.5 months old and hasn’t started laying yet. She’s very large for her age. She has slate colored legs like an Ameracauna.

This is Eve... She's 18 weeks and started laying eggs 4 days ago. She wasn't going to let any of the other girls show her up. I'm not sure of her mix because how I got her is quite a long story. She's happy to be with us though! Her first eggs have gone dark and light so unsure what color they'll be once her system is fully running. New to chickens so I'm just learning as we go.
