The Olive-Egger thread!

[AZBootsie]

Quote: I also have wheaten AM but I will be putting them under my wheaten Marans. I have two OE's laying beautiful olive eggs that will be under home also. See what I get.

Sphinx- You may have to start a new thread.....The Avocado Eggers. These are the nicest green eggs I have ever seen!!!

Mstricer- I hatched a Wheaten AM/French Wheaten Marans about 6 weeks ago. I am hoping for a furry legged wheaten OE with a beard. The leg band slipped off and having trouble picking it out of the Wheaten Marans chicks.......will post pics if I ever figure it out.

Just had to come share since I've done alot of whining around the forum. This is my OE, Adobo. We have had her since 10/12. She has layed a total of 6 eggs in that time. The last
time she layed an egg was about 2 months ago. We had just about given up until I checked the nest box today expecting to find two from our RIR and Australorp. SURPRISE - Adobo
came through with this crazy looking thing. She just cracks us up. She's the largest of the 3 hens and layed the wackiest looking egg. Thanks for letting me share. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Well, it's been a couple of weeks since I posted pics of my supposed OE pullets. Gwen is getting a thicker beard and muff. - I thought she might be getting pointy hackle feathers, but around the black center of each feather there is a rounded white halo. No crowing yet, comb is a bit pinker, but not really bigger. Her legs are still pinky-white. She has an attitude and gets pecked on the head for impertinence.





Osprey, below, is still mellow, hangs out with the Legbars, and hasn't changed much. Comb is a pinker and her face is starting to get a bit pink. I have a feeling she is older than 11 weeks




How much longer do you think I need to be stressed about having cockerels? I'm really afraid one could start crowing next week while I'm on vacation, and someone could call the city on me

I think youve got some very pretty pullets there

Im so excited about my OE chicks! I crossed my blue barred crested frizzled OE roo with my CL hen. Here is dad:


Babies are hatching out white and light blue chipmunk and at least half are frizzled! I hope they get little crests too

One chick in particular is the cutest. S/he has old man eyebrows! Also kind of looks like a little Neanderthal. Ive never seen any chick with these bushy eyebrows before. I cant wait to see how it turns out. looks like its going to be frizzled.

Way to go Adobo!

The first eggs after they start back up are weird looking. I hope she starts firing on all cylinders soon!
