“Ms. Ollie was my first to lay a beautiful moss green egg. She is comforatable with me near but doesn‚Äôt care to beheld and often acts like things like a bucket are out to kill her. She is friendly however, anytime I‚Äôm cleaning the coop she likes to see what I‚Äôm doing and sits and watches perched on the outside.”
“Though smaller than all my other chickens she is so ferocious that the others are scared of her. She won‚Äôt let them eat when she eats, and has been picking on a Wyandotte and won‚Äôt let her sleep on the roosting bar. She does lay almost daily, but she is such a jerk that I don‚Äôt know if I‚Äôd ever want another one. Terrible personality.”
“My POE was the first to begin laying, her eggs are a lovely sage green. She is a sweet inquisitive girl, always checking out what I‚Äôm doing in the coop. She doesn‚Äôt like to be held but she is still friendly and one of my smarter hens.”
“She is a very pretty bird who lays a beautiful olive colored egg. She is the least friendly of my flock though. She isn't mean by any stretch of the imagination, she just steers clear of people and would rather me just do my chicken chores and get out of her run lol.”
“As a pullet, Alice, our POE was my least favorite. She had the least interest in people of all of our chicks. She‚Äôs not so much afraid, as she is disdainful of people. You can‚Äôt feed her my hand because she‚Äôll peck your hand so hard it hurts, and she is a hen all the others are afraid of. She goes after the other hens as well, though nothing aggressive enough that anyone has had more than their ego bruised. She she started to lay, she has quickly improved her reputation! I did not expect it, but she lays a pretty green egg every single day. In her second week of laying they are not large yet, but they are markedly larger than her first. Would I want a lot of these girls in my flock? With personalities like hers? No. But one or two in a mixed flock of friendlier birds is great.”
“On May 13th, we welcomed several little red hens and a Partridge Olive Egger Rooster to our home! We have been eagerly watching the rooster and waiting for him to mature....he has just not ever been a leader and we have giggled that he just didn't have enough testosterone. Yesterday, we learned that is true! Our little red hens each provide us with a brown egg every single day.....but all of a sudden, there was an olive EGG in the chicken house! LOL!!!! We have a HEN - not a rooster! We are laughing because we have made so many comments hoping that "he" would soon lead his harem and be the king of the flock! I guess that is not going to happen!!!!!”
“This is my friendliest, most inquisitive and curious bird. She follows me around the yard and jumps up on my lap if I sit down. She's also quite beautiful, with lots of shimmery feathers in multiple shades of brown, beige, and white, a big bright red comb, and bright yellow legs. She'd follow me into the house if she could. A family favorite. If I'd known how her feathers would grow, I would have named her Mohawk.”
“We ordered five chicks of different varieties to get a varied egg basket. Our partridge olive egger has been skittish since day one despite being handled the same as all the other chicks. While the rest of our flock is friendly and docile, she does not like to be handled at all. We waited months for our eggs and I was disappointed to find that our partridge olive egger (that looks very much like a cream legbar X Penedesenca and looks like a homely roadrunner) lays medium tan eggs. All of our chickens are pets and we just let her be her crazy self, but I wouldn't order this breed again.”
