The Olive-Egger thread!

[haTHOR]

15 eggs in the last 18 days from my first (surviving) OE layer...took two years of breeding to get to this point!

These are in indirect sunlight with a couple white leghorn eggs for perspective.

These are from a pullet out of a FCBM male and a barred easter egger who laid lots of BIG green eggs. Will breed these back to my Olive Egger (barred) roo and should get sex-linked babes. Will make the next year of breeding go a lot faster, I think!

It's definitely exciting to see those gorgeous green eggs in the nest box! These olive eggers are absolutely my faves as far as layers. All I've bred have laid huge eggs, are super laid back, and they just beautiful birds!

X2!! I will have to get some more pics of mine. Out of all my birds, the OEs are laying the best right now.

Those are really nice eggs. I hope that 1 of my 5 OE girls will lay an egg remotely close to that color.

Do you have pics of that hen, sounds like an interesting project

Thats exciting stuff! I am always the same way, if I am home I am pacing back and forth to the bator peeking in the window

I have some project eggs in the bator now and the wait is killing me. Good luck with your hatch !!
