...and simply inaccurate.........but, alot of Olive Eggers do have Ameraucana's as one of their parents.

What did you mix to get that pretty white?

I just have to show off my pullet that Labelle, my GL Polish, hatched out. She is such a good momma, and she still has eggs expected to hatch out tomorrow. The chick is a cross between and OE and an EE, and I'm excited to see what color she will lay.

Lovely Mama! I love her chicken saddle too

Labelle is a great name for a polish...ala Patty LaBelle, who did some BIG hair back in the day?

Some of my young olive eggers, Ameracauna x Marans. Excited to see what shade they will lay. These I bred. I purchased an olive egger hen from a hatchery, but I'm not all that impressed with the shade of her eggs.

Leedy - none of the crosses you posted will result in an olive egger.  You might get green, mint, or even a blue from your EE hen if you are lucky.  If you want olive eggs you'd do best crossing Welsummers or some type of Marans with a pure Ameraucana or Cream Legbar.  

i guess i can skip all the mess ... because im not a breeder and not interested that much to work on breedibg them... ill just have to see about purchasing some OEs know anyone that ship chicks.. chickens like already about 15weeks?

 

[Olive Oil]

I am currently breeding them, but I am not going to sell any until I see that the eggs from my first batch turn out olive like they should. I have several 3 month olds right now, some younger as well. Once I get a good egg color I will sell some. I bought one from My Pet Chicken, but wasn't that excited about the color, it's olive, but not as dark or bright as I'd like .

Does anyone breed frizzled olive eggers?
Im looking to purchase some hatching eggs next spring (march-april)
Prefer 2nd generation or more but would definitely consider 1st gen

What would make a frizzled oe?
