Olive Egger
Olive Eggers are a hybrid breed known for their ability to lay unique olive-green eggs. This intriguing egg color results from crossing a brown egg-laying breed (like a Marans or a Rhode Island Red) with a blue egg-laying breed (like an Araucana or Ameraucana). The combination of these two genes creates the olive-green hue that distinguishes their eggs.
Olive Eggers became more popular in the chicken-keeping community in the early 2000s, as breeders began to focus on creating hybrids that not only produced colorful eggs but also had desirable traits such as good temperament and productivity.
Egg production: typically lay between 150 to 250 eggs per year, depending on their individual genetics and care. Their eggs are usually medium to large in size and are sought after for their unique color, adding a visually appealing aspect to any egg basket.
Please note: There is a 10% chance an Olive Egger may lay a tan or brown egg.
Egg color shown is not guaranteed. Olive Eggers can lay a variety of shades of green from Sage green to Olive green
