Olive egger variation?
Our take
Curious about the delightful world of olive eggers? You’re in for a treat! Recently, a fellow chicken enthusiast, u/Tall_Cauliflower, shared their experience with two olive eggers and two buff orpingtons. At first glance, these chicks looked identical, but as their feathers began to emerge, distinct differences popped up! One olive egger sports charming white speckles and pink legs, while the other boasts a striking dark hue with yellow legs. Could these variations indicate different crosses? It's a cluck-tastic mystery that many chicken lovers might encounter. Join the discussion to unravel the secrets of these feathered friends and share your insights or experiences with olive eggers. After all, in the whimsical world of chickens, surprises are always just around the corner! 🐣
| | I purchased these chicks a few weeks ago - 2 olive eggers, 2 buff orpingtons. The Olive eggers looked the same until their feathers started coming in, anyone have any ideas why? Was wondering if they could be different crosses perhaps? One has white speckles and pink legs, other is very dark with yellow legs. First two pics are the dark one, second two pics are the speckled one. Thanks! 🐣 [link] [comments] |

- My new "olive egger"...At 3 weeks old, she started developing gold striations in her feathering, and I thought, huh, that's odd. It took me an embarrassing number of weeks beyond that to realize that my "olive egger" is turning out to be an absolutely gorgeous blue laced gold wyandotte. I'm not mad about it. submitted by /u/shewolf8686 [link] [comments]
- Breed IDCould anyone guess what kind of what kind of ancestry does my easter eggers have? No right or wrong answers. Since I have no way of confirming. Just curious what everyone thinks. I got theese gals when they were 1 year old from my sister’s friend (the breeder). Sister no longer has the information card on their ancestry. But here is the information what we have from what she remembers. As well as their appearance Confirmed to have leghorn and Araucana ancestry Eggs very from pinkish to medium brown. Very good egg layers they lay almost every day. Both girls Juniper (white speckled ) and Charlotte (brown speckled) came from same mama (idk what breed though). Both ladies have blue grey feet and have nearly identical feather patterns albeit in different colors. No info on the father though I don’t even know if they have the same father or even came from the same batch I know they’re around the same age. Again this is just for fun. I’m just curious what people think. submitted by /u/Sweet-Able [link] [comments]
