The Olive-Egger thread!

[aart]

The olive egger I've got is mostly Bcm, but she has some Araucana in her.

So you don't know for sure the parentage?
Sure the Araucana isn't an EE.... or part of an EE?

I'm pretty sure she has true Araucanas.

I wanted to add to this thread if it’s okay! This is my Olive Egger, Blackbird, who is half Jersey Giant and half lavender Ameraucana! She’s a big girl but lays a lovely olive egg!

My beautiful 12 week bcm x Araucana chicks! I’m hoping they keep looking like Hens but I’m no expert on this x breed or comb type! Hoping for eggs in a couple of months! Need to add another colour to my egg basket!!

My first Gen Olive Egger lays these beauties. I have a BCM Roo over her now & I’m starting to collect her eggs to set under my very broody Australorp, Rosie

Sorry If you covered it but the Bcm roo is over what?

Pretty red for 12 weeks....got pics from when they were 6-8 weeks, that's when the red really screams cockerel!

My orpington hen is acting like she want to go broody so I'm collecting eggs from 6 hens. Cream Legbar, 2 BCM, Olive Egger (lays brown eggs), 2 Brahma × Cream Legbars! Can't wait for all the Olive Eggers and BCMs!

@ScottandSam I got my OE from Meyers Hatchery. She’s a BCM/Ameracauna mix I believe. They have two different lines of OE & I got two of their other line(cream legbar/Welsummer) & one of the BCM/Ameracauna line. One died & the other left lays a brown egg(my luck). This is Vera that lays my beautiful OE

I do have photos actually, these were taken on New Year’s Day so around 7 weeks old. At the moment feathers look hennish to me, aka no pointy feathers in tail or on neck. These are the only 2 to hatch so I’m hoping I have at least 1 Hen!!
