The Olive-Egger thread!

[Happy Chooks]

Congrats on the babies! Sorry you didn't get any blues though.

The 4 olive eggers I have from you (via Mary), I have 2 boys and 2 girls. The one with 3 rows on the pea comb is a boy.

But the blue is a pullet!!!!

Are you SURE the one w/three rows of peas is a boy? Absolutley, completely sure? Let me find a pic of one I thought was a boy but ended up being a gorgeous pullet, and is the momma of some of yours, likely. I'll be back in a few!

Okay, here she is - three VERY distinct rows of peas, and she's 4 weeks in this pic. The rows got bigger/wider as she grew, too:

Hey, Ladyhawk! Good to see you!!!

 

[Cetawin]

More Suede Babies. Nugget hatched 3 beautiful babies 2 pure orps and 1 meg n suede baby (3/4 orp 1/4 RIR) that is gorgeous....the thread is in behaviors is you want to see them. They have already been named too.... There is Rose, Ebony (black orp) and Baize (dark blue orp).

Did Cyn tell you about my plan to create a new orp?

I am shooting for a splash with feathered legs and feet. Crossing Thor, son of suede with my splash cochin.

Honestly, I just want to see what the babies will look like. hahahaha

 

[Wynette]

Yep, I saw the babes - GORGEOUS! But then, any baby of Suede's is!! Good girl, Nugget!

Did the comb turn pink by 5 weeks of age? Cuz mine has a light pink comb, so I'm pretty sure it's a boy. It's still itty bitty though. And the funny thing is the other boy looks exactly like a BCM cockeral. (and he is very obviously a boy) If I could upload photo's I'd show you.

internet service!!!! I've been calling them every few days, but can they fix it? NOPE

Wynette, BTW without hijacking the thread....my avatar...that is my Thor, son of suede. That is my precious boy.

I'd love to see what the chickens and resulting eggs look like when you breed a Welsummer to an Ameraucana. I have Welsummer and Ameraucana hatching eggs coming, so it will be a long time till I can do the cross myself.

So far they look a little like Welsummers, but I'll have to take pics of the next bunch due to hatch next week.
