    My goats are Savanna with about a quarter Boer. And my puppy is a Berner! His name is Maverick. ❤️
  5. Buttercup comb on Olive Egger backcross chick?

    It's just so weird! I kinda love it! ❤️ I have two Polish hens but I have never hatched their eggs... I tried to last spring but they weren't fertilized so I did bother trying this spring.
  6. Buttercup comb on Olive Egger backcross chick?

    The only thing is, is I produced this chick. His mother and father were bred and raised here and so were the grandparents. I've never owned a Sicilian Buttercup. 🤷🏼‍♀️
  7. Buttercup comb on Olive Egger backcross chick?

    I hatched this chick last month he is from a Olive Egger mother (Ameraucana X BCM) and a Welsummer father. His mother has the modified pea comb and he had what looked like a straight comb until about a week or two old it started developing this circle at the back of his comb. I'm so...
  8. MIXED UP: BCMs with BCM X CCL

    Thank you so much @NatJ that is exactly what I needed! Honestly it was my fault they are all mixed up, as I was expecting them to be easier to tell apart. Turns out... not so much! I guess that's why I typically use the Ameraucana with a pea comb. 😄
  9. Olive egger thread

    I've been crossing BCM hens to a Blue Ameraucana rooster, and have loved my results. The hens are black or blue sometimes with a beard and some without. Then I started crossing those back to a AM for minty green and then a Welsummer to get speckles on the olive. This year I have blue egg...
  10. MIXED UP: BCMs with BCM X CCL

    Perfect! I've been doing BCM and Olive Eggers with Ameraucana X BCM for a few years. This was the first time using a CCL instead of the Ameraucana for the Olive Eggers. I just wasn't sure how the crest came into play with this cross. I never used CCL before because I didn't have a good line...
  11. BCM x CCL hen back crossed to Wellsummer roo

    I just did my first batch of Olive Egger hens backcrossed to a Welsummer and BCM roosters. So far I have a mix of chipmunk patterns and solid black. As far as I can tell it's seems to be less of them being chipmunk like the Welsummer, even the ones coming from the Welsummer roo pen. I'll have...
  12. White spots on BCM?

    Thats a great question! Because I had the same one. I purchased some BCM hatching eggs and noticed one cockerel with white flecks on his chest and shoulder but only on one side!
  13. MIXED UP: BCMs with BCM X CCL

    Hey everyone, so here's the scoop. I was trying out a different cross for Olive Eggers, for the first time, using a CCL hen with a BCM roo. However I mixed them up with my pure BCM chicks. My questions are: Do the CCL X BCM Olive Eggers get a crest like their mother? So as they mature I'd be...
  14. Comb type

    I needed to jump on and ask a question, and I found this thread so I figured I'd ask here. I have what looks like a buttercup comb on a chick. It's a Olive Egger Backcross so a Olive Egger hen with a modified pea comb with a Welsummer or BCM rooster are his parents. What do you think?
  15. olive egger

    This is how it was explained to me and these are the only ones that I know: Dark Brown Egg + Blue Egg = F1 Olive Egger F1 Olive Egger + F1 Olive Egger = F2 Olive Egger. F1 Olive Egger + BCM or Welsummer = Olive Egger Backcross 1 (BC1) BC1 + BCM or Welsummer = Backcross 2 (BC2) F1 Olive...
