Description:

We know you love olive eggs in your basket, so we are offering this gorgeous Partridge Olive Egger for you. The partridge plumage on this designer breed consists of hens with warm brown feathers shading to reddish gold at the hackles, each feather with double black penciling. The roosters are stunning in flame and black. About 5% of chicks hatch out in different shades, too!

  • You'll find your Partridge Olive Egger to be relatively small, perky and curious, and probably not first in the pecking order.
  • They are active foragers, and prolific layers of dark olive eggs in a medium to large size.
  • Because this is an F1 cross, there is a 1/16th chance of receiving a brown egg layer instead of an olive egg layer. (If you want a bird with a lower chance of laying a brown egg, try our Olive Egger, which is a mix of F1 and F2s.) 
There is a small chance you may receive a white or yellow chick that will mature with lovely white feathering instead of the partridge coloration. This is normal with designer breeds. 

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.
