“Ordered 3 chicks and all arrived safe and healthy! They’re all doing great so far. My partridge olive Egger is friendly and starting to show her little personality at 1 week old.”
“Although I am not 100% sure which chick is the Cream Legbar and which is the Partridge Olive Egger, I believe our little Astrid (darker and smaller) is the CL and Chesnut (brown and larger) is the POE. Both are awesome. Astrid is the second smallest chick of seven and is incredibly smart. While the others announce it when they get a morsel of a treat, she grabs and then quickly and quietly goes off by herself to eat. Her BFF's are Chestnut and Spot, who are both much more assertive. Spot (the Barred Rock) makes sure that Astrid gets everything she needs. Chesnut is also very sisterly. She is our most coordinated chick. Always the first to try out new features in the brooder. By day seven she was flying onto a perch I put in there for them. Both are happy, healthy, and wonderful.”
“We ordered a bunch of chicks with a March hatch date, including one partridge olive egger. We chose our breeds very carefully as we can only have a limited number where we live. This was to be our one green egg layer plus we love how they look. Within a few weeks, our chick didn't seem to look like a partridge olive egger. It became quite clear within a few months that we did not receive the chick we purchased. Instead of a green egg-laying, partridge olive egger, we were sent a brown leghorn that lays white eggs. Not at all what we asked for and I'm not sure how this mistake could have even happened. While MPC was very helpful and refunded the cost of this one bird, we now have a breed we didn't want. Of course we adore her but really wanted a green layer. Even if we gave her away, we would only have room for one more bird and we couldn't order and raise a single chick alone only to have to go into a larger flock with older girls. That just wouldn't be safe. So we will have to wait a few years until space opens up and order several chicks. Just hoping we get the ones we paid for.”
“I have had an adult Partridge Olive Egger that was not only beautiful but laid the prettiest olive green eggs almost daily. Unfortunately a predstor got her. I have been waiting for more to be hatched. And now i have them!”
Nadia, we are so very sorry to hear that you lost your pretty lady but grateful we were able to help you! We appreciate your taking the time to review the Partridge Olive Egger chicks and hope that we will be of assistance to you in the future! Hoping for many wonderful years of you and your flock together!
“My olive egger Maria is the Small chicken I have (out of 14 different breeds) she's friendly and curious. When she was younger she would jump on my shoulder and sit. She lays an army green medium egg. And although she is the smallest, she sits at the top of the pecking order somehow.”
