Our 'Gemstone' Olive Egger chicks are a group of crosses that lay a variety of colors, including shades of olive, brown, minty green, and even pink. (Note: If you are looking just for Olive Eggers that are guaranteed to lay 100% green eggs, check out our F1 Olive Egger Day Old Chicks).
These chicks will hatch in a variety of colors (black, self blue, white), with a variety of combs (single, pea) and some will have beards and muffs, some not. All of these chicks are crosses, and will not breed true.

Each chick will be leg banded so you can identify the type of cross you are getting. We will give you the widest variety of crosses available at the time we fulfill your order. Due to the small size of our breeding groups for these crosses this year, we cannot take more specific requests.
