The Olive-Egger thread!

I think every olive egger I set hatched! Tomorrow will be the real story, but I think I will be selling some Olive Egger.

Peach2U are you out there????????? Most of your babies hatched and what colors!!!! Some look with with lavender chipmunk strips..... I think I will keep all the ones with pea combs and maybe the others too, just to see what they will look like THANK YOU!!!!!!!
 
I wondered if any one sells their designer hens and what is the going price?



@Donna--which vitamins are in the water??
I sell olive egger pullets the same as reg chickens. I got the vitamins at the feed store.
 
These are all from the same hen. An f1xf1. The first egg is a blown out egg from around easter. She's been laying for about 6 months and I think she's running out of paint! They were all consistantly speckled dark green until recently! If I had more then 1 laying eggs or old enough to lay I'd think it was 2 chickens laying.

She was broody a few weeks ago but I broke her without meaning to. She's got another clutch going though and growls at me whenever she see's me.

This is an olive egger pullet I hatched quite a few weeks ago. She is filling out very nicely! I wish I had many more of her, but alas, she is the ONLY OE pullet I hatched. I've had a very male heavy year. Her mother was a black copper marans, and her father a splash Araucana. She is cleanfaced and rumpless, with partially feathered legs.

Her beak is all funky because part of her lower mandible was broken off by a raging turkey tom. Happened when she was a week old. But she can eat and drink just fine, though I need to keep her upper beak trimmed, or else it will overgrow.
 
I have heard this alot this year. must be something in the air.

I'm not sure if this is covered earlier in this thread, but has anyone had rumpless/tailless OE hatch from Black Copper Marans roos on Ameraucana hens?
I've hatched several this spring. I would assume they are probably from the same hen.
