Yeah! We're back! My Olive Eggers have really grown since the site has been down. I'm trying to get some good pics. One definitely has a Mohawk

Just hatched out 8 Marans.....
....and may be getting a couple of Cream Legbar pullets chicks tomorrow.
Both are locals, probably not the greatest lines....
....but still, better for OE than Wellie over EE's.

I believe they are out of 3 different pullets. Only one pullet seems to be laying daily, based on color and shape.
I have 5 that are laying age, which I got from Penny1960 as hatchlings. One is a out of a Barred Rock crossed with her Olive Egger rooster, 2 are out of Easter Eggers crossed with same. One is out of a Black Sex Link crossed with same. And my blue girl- hmm, could be out of a Black Sex Link, crossed with same as well.
