Olive Egger Chicks

Discover the magic of Olive Egger chickens at Purely Poultry, where beauty, charm, and exceptional egg-laying come together in one delightful breed. These captivating birds are known for their ability to produce an impressive 180-200 medium to large olive-green eggs each year, making them a standout addition to any flock. Their unique egg color brings a pop of nature’s artistry to your egg basket, with a remarkable 96% likelihood that your Olive Egger hens will deliver the prized olive hue.

Beyond their egg-laying prowess, Olive Eggers are beloved for their striking appearance. With feathering that often combines shades of brown, gray, and black, these birds offer a visual treat with every glance. Some even display charming speckles or barring, with feathered accents around their necks and legs in shades of white, gold, or black. Occasionally, you’ll find an Olive Egger sporting a “top hat” of feathers, giving them an extra dose of character that’s sure to make them the talk of your coop.

Temperament-wise, Olive Eggers are lively, active, and adaptable, fitting in seamlessly with other breeds. Their medium size—roosters weighing in around 6.5 pounds and hens slightly lighter at 5.5 pounds—makes them a great addition to both small backyard setups and larger homesteads. While Olive Eggers aren’t officially recognized by the American Poultry Association (APA), their vibrant personalities, consistent egg production, and overall hardiness have earned them a special place in the hearts of chicken enthusiasts.

At Purely Poultry, we take pride in the careful breeding of our Olive Eggers. By crossing select breeds like Cream Legbars and Welsummers, we’ve created a robust and reliable bird that not only produces stunning eggs but also thrives in a variety of climates.
