“Olive Eggers” can be produced using several different combinations of colored egg layers and very dark brown egg layers.

The wide spectrum of colors will certainly provide diverse colors in your egg basket!

    All of my chicks from Townline came healthy and active. My 3 Olive Egger girls are so sweet! The three of them all look different, two have muff feathers and one has a clean, black head (hence her name – Vulture). We ordered a hatch in June 2020. 2 of the Olive Eggers have hatched babies this year and the third is teasing about being broody. They have proven to lay beautiful olive eggs, are fairly calm and friendly, and are great momma hens. They are a great addition to our flock.

    I ordered five olive egger pullets and received them 4/27/21. All were pullets as ordered and all very much alive, vigorous, hardy and grew like weeds. Received the first beautiful olive green egg at exactly 21 weeks of age.
    Thanks to Townline hatchery for producing and shipping such healthy stock. I am 100 percent pleased. I already want more!

  3. Dawn Knauft (verified owner)

    Very happy with my 8 mo. old Olive Egger hen. She surprised us by starting to lay at only 19 weeks, and has been laying medium sized eggs about every 36 hrs. since. Her feathers are black with a purple sheen, giving her an appearance reminiscent of an eagle. She has a calm temperament.
