Colored Egg Layers
Large olive eggs, 5 to 6 lb at maturity, and a docile, friendly, mellow, active temperament.
Breed specifications
Our Olive Eggers come from a couple of different crosses. We have one line that is a cross of Americanas and French Cuckoo Marans. With this hybrid, most of the females will be black but a few will come out blue. We also have another cross that is between Legbars and Welsummers, our goal with these is to create a green egg that is speckled similar to the Welsummers. Both crosses have a chance of laying brown eggs.
Fun fact: Lays beautifully colored eggs.
