Olive Egger Chickens produce a nice army green egg, and come from a couple of different cross combinations. One line is a cross of Americanas and French Cuckoo Marans. with this hybrid cross most of the females will be black but a few will come out blue. Another cross is between Legbars and Welsummers, our goal with these is to create a green egg that is speckled similar to the Welsummer's egg. Both of these crosses have a 5% chance of laying brown eggs. These are a mix and you could receive birds from either and or both flocks, there is no option to choose between the two. Friendly and docile, these birds get along well with other breeds, are hardy in winter and bear confinement well. Hens begin to lay around 6-8 months of age and are great producers! These birds add interest and color to both your flock and your egg basket! Get your baby chicks for sale today!

Q: Why are they called olive eggers if the description says they lay brown eggs?

However, both cross combinations have a 5% chance of laying brown eggs instead of the expected olive or green eggs, which is why brown eggs are mentioned in the description.3 months agoHelpful?
