Olive Egger Chicks

Discover the Unique Wonders of Olive Egger Chicks at Valley Hatchery

Step into the world of Olive Egger Chickens, where egg production meets beauty. These spirited birds are renowned for their prolific laying, offering 180-200 medium to large olive-green eggs each year. The eggs’ enchanting hue varies from hen to hen, with a striking 96% likelihood of olive-colored eggs, making every egg a delightful surprise.

A Blend of Color and Character

Olive Egger Chickens are not just prolific layers; they are a spectacle of colors. Sporting a base of light brown, grey, and black, these chickens often feature speckling and barring in white, gold, or black, particularly around their neck and legs. Their appearance may be further adorned with or without the distinctive crested top hat feathers, adding to their unique charm.

Robust and Adaptable: Perfect for Your Flock

Ideally sized for most flocks, Olive Egger roosters generally weigh in at 6.5lbs, with hens slightly lighter at 5.5lbs. They are an active breed, perfect for those who enjoy a lively backyard flock. Although not recognized by the APA, these chickens, originating in the United States, have captured the hearts of poultry enthusiasts with their vibrant personality and consistent egg production.

Expert Breeding for Exceptional Quality

At Valley Hatchery, we specialize in breeding Olive Eggers by carefully crossing Cream Legbars and Welsummers. This meticulous process not only ensures a diverse range of egg shell colors but also contributes to the birds’ overall health and vitality. Rarely going broody, these chickens are a reliable and enchanting addition to any coop.
