Olive Egger - My Pet Chicken

You've been dying for olive eggers, and they're finally here! My Pet Chicken offers two different exclusive crosses, producing an assortment of beautiful olive egg layers. (We're keeping some of our breeding secrets under wraps, but we can say we've crossed Legbars by Marans for one variety, and Ameraucanas by Marans for another variety.) There is no guarantee which of the two breeding programs your chicks will originate from, but you will be delighted by the varied color patterns of these chicks. Though they may all look different, each of them will lay an olive egg ranging in shade from light olive to a dark army green. Best of all, the parent stock are friendly, easy-going breeds, so your Olive Egger is likely to be a family favorite!
