I think you have the female part right Penedesenca X EE, but I think she has her covered by her BCM roo. Which would explain why they are so dark and gorgeous!

I think I need to go buy a lottery ticket. Every single olive egger I hatched turned out to be girls.

Not a single one of them were roosters.

It will probably never happen again. We gave 2 of the girls to a friend, so I have 3 of them left. Now I just gotta wait until the end of March to see their eggs. ETA: The eggs were from my own flock.

At what age does a chicken begin to lay- generally?

depends on the breed. Some can lay at 4 months - most around 5-6 months. It also depends on the time of year.

Depends. Hatchery birds usually begin laying around 5-6 months. Slow maturing breeds can take up to 7-8 months. So far, the longest I've had to wait is 32 weeks.
