View attachment 1130019 View attachment 1130020 My other two OE from Meyer are definity the legbar type. I think they are super pretty as well! Yours are beautiful@hyzenthlay
I call mine the sisters lol. Sage has the crest & Olive is darker without a crest. Real original names I know

Aww, they look much more grown up now, very pretty! It looks like they got some rich coloring, and I do like this wild type pattern. I like their names, too! I considered both of those--all my hens have botanical names, and those are some apt choices for an olive egger!

I Have a hen who is 8months old and laid 4 eggs and that was it. She hasn't laid in about a week now. I checked her vent and it looks healthy. She is still eating and drinking. I don't see any change. Just stopped laying. Any ideas?

Mine looks just like your one in the top picture. Mine doesn't have a little mohawk/crest thing

actually, after checking out this thread and all the great documentation over time, i could buy that my little one is a legbar x welsummer. i wish she had a crest though!

Mine looked just like yours. I kinda was hoping for a crest too has I think the little Mohawks are cute AF

My lovely lady started laying. Sometimes speckled sometimes not. But beautiful any way she lays them.

Nice! I can't wait for mine to start laying. I think she is a welsummer and legbar cross

I know my girl is an Ameracauna x French Copper Marans.

She's a sturdy girl who is always giving me the stink eye. She definitely has the most dinosaur look out of all my birds. She really is very sweet. Her best friend is my Svart Hona x B. Cochin mix. (not even 3 lbs)

I picked her out. There is a breeder close by. That's why I know what cross she is. They breed those too.
