Welcome Chicks and Hens, I'm in Cedar Hills, so somewhat close.

Lisa, I can't wait to see photos, I'm so excited for a polka dot chicken running around. I love my 2 NN I have now, I tell everyone that Ollie that I got from you is an Ostrich, she totally looks like one, and everyone always is like, awesome, I've never seen a baby Ostrich. hahaha. I don't even know what the a Showgirl really is.

My bad. So really I guess I don't care if its more NN or SG, but if the SG is more like a Silkie feathers, I might want a Fluffy Polka Dot, but really any polka dot will do. And I'm going to call her Hokey Pokey

... I need a Pokey chicken in my life.

And I promise I will photo bomb tomorrow, because with my luck they will send me one of each Bantam they had available yesterday, and I will be totally clueless on what the tiny fuzzy are going to be.

Gary, I asked the question for you the Olive Egger site. Here is where I posted it, there are a couple of answers. Seems any brown egg layer bred to a blue egg layer can make the Olive Egger. It's just that the Marans are more desirable because you get a darker Olive Egg. Welsummer layers work fine.

So does that mean that my mix from Sphinx it is a FBCM mom to a LegBar dad should be an Olive Egger? That would be awesome!

Whittni, fantastic! That is a haul for sure, Congratulations! I need to watch your link "How to bathe a show chicken". I bet it does not include a lot of the words I was saying Yesterday What a mess.

Those ribbons are really pretty. Good luck in Kane County!

Silly, I think so. (I'm so excited to see all your fuzzies tomorrow! Please post some next to the regular sized ones. I wanna be able to judge size )

Congratulations to all the ribbon winners!

Oh ya! Sometimes they surprise you with brown, but the tighter the peacomb the better chance for olive.

Congratulations, Whittni!!!!


Peacomb can equal blue egg gene. But, my legbars have single combs. So, my best olive Eggers are actually a fbcm over a cream legbar. My oe look like fbcm except with a bad toupee. Lol.


Oh Red.....
