Thank you all! I'm so excited to have my first Olive Egger! I just love it! I wish I had a few more like beautiful Miss Olive!

Forgive the poor quality of the photo; had to scan an actual paper photo from 10 years ago. These eggs are from my first 2 chickens ever, and were supposed to be Araucanas. Of course, I didn't know any better back then, and didn't have the fine people here at BYC to set me straight. I bought the hens from a farm in Gardner, Kansas.I was SO disappointed when they didn't lay the beautiful, blue eggs I was expecting. But, oh, how I would love to still have these girls.

Very cool!!! and such a lovely combination of those great eggs, the plate and the tile in the back ground.
It's really peaceful.

With that single comb and body type, makes me wonder what she was. . . Very nice eggs though.

Maybe some Andalusian in her background to get the blue color? All I know is that she came from a hatchery up in Iowa. Funny how I was sooo disappointed back then, yet now I am breeding for olive eggers. Go figure!

Wow, nice olive color Kansas! And some of them look gray.
