Baby Chicks: Blue/Black/Splash Wheaten Olive Egger
This unique hybrid is a showstopper in both looks and production. BBS Wheaten Olive Eggers lay beautiful medium to large olive eggs, with the occasional tan or speckled surprise adding extra charm to your morning collection. Each bird sports the eye-catching Wheaten feather pattern, making them as delightful to look at as their eggs are to collect!
But the beauty doesn’t stop there — these birds pass on their lovely feather traits for generations, should you choose to hatch your own. Males will develop striking black feathering between 3–6 weeks, while females are typically dressed in soft cream and brown hues.
Hardy and adaptable, Wheaten Olive Eggers are a cold-tolerant cross that may have straight or pea combs, and sometimes even feathered legs.
When you order, you’ll receive hatchery choice colors — your chicks may grow into any of the three stunning varieties:
- Blue Wheaten
- Black Wheaten (Wheaten)
- Splash Wheaten
Please note: the Blue Wheaten color does not breed true, so each hatch brings a little element of surprise!
Though the plumage on this cross varies, 95% of our Olive Eggers will lay an olive-shade egg, varying from lighter olive to very dark "army green." The other 5% have a chance of laying a brown egg instead of an olive egg.
Blue or Green Egg Promise
Most Easter and Olive Eggers will lay blue or green eggs. However, due to natural genetic variation, a small number may produce eggs that are brown, pinkish, or tinted instead. Since each hen lays one consistent egg color for life, egg color becomes clear once she begins laying — typically between 18 and 30 weeks.
If your Easter Egger or Olive Egger lays eggs that are not blue or green, we will refund the purchase price of the bird as My Pet Chicken store credit. Read more information here.
