Quote: Maybe she used legbars, they can have a crests tho not quite as large as polish.
You should ask her.

They look like pullets, pretty red combs should be laying now or soon I would think.

Another OE from the same hatch. .

They are 6 months old.

Both pullets. I would guess that they used crested cream legbars and BCM to create their olive eggers.

Doesn't look like cresting on Legbars to me. The Marans X Legbars that I did had very little crest, and certainly not the big poofy crest. Kern

Is this OE a rooster? Haven't witnessed crowing or sitting...getting antsy for it to do something..

Wow! Beautiful. You have all the fun stuff going on here! Olive eggs, a crest, poofy cheeks...

They are beautiful pullets, but I agree they are probably polish/Marans crosses. I have a lot of legbar crosses and none of them have crests like those pullets. You should get eggs pretty soon. Let us know!

Beautiful! And they are so big compared to my babes (5mos 1wk and small compared to all the EE and OE pics I'm seeing).

This is my little olive egger creation. Her dad is a blue copper marans, and her mom is an Easter egger.

I just wanted to share some of my olive egger pullets. They are just coming into lay. They have Marans mothers and a rumpless Araucana father. The pullets came out 90% rumpless while their male counterparts are 90% tailed, very interesting. The males are also have a lot more gold, they are calico colored.
