“Very fun chick! She was a replacement for Green Queen and we are very happy! Accurate description and pictures! Our gal Sunflower looks just like the pictures and her feather pattern was consistent since young pullet age. She is a bit smaller and lightweight compared to other large standard breeds we have, she did get a little bullied since she is gentle. We will probably vaseline her larger floppy comb on coldest winter days. She has a friendly and gentle personality and the cool feather puff “mohawk” on top her head. She started laying fairly early in our flock around the 20-22 week mark after the heatwave broke. She has always laid LARGE bright khaki green eggs sometimes with tan speckles. Almost daily right now in first season!!! Not broody, not mean to others, great forager! She looks like a pretty dinosaur for sure!”
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful update on Sunflower. We love hearing how well she has lived up to her description, from her unique coloring and fabulous little head puff to those beautiful khaki green eggs. It sounds like she has quite the personality too! We are especially happy to hear that she has been such a gentle, friendly member of your flock and a great forager and seriously, “pretty dinosaur” may just be one of our favorite descriptions yet! We truly appreciate you choosing My Pet Chicken and taking the time to share so many details about your experience with her.
“This chick replaced one that was not available. She is turning out absolutely beautiful! Her personality is just fantastic. She's calm and minds her own business, but also refuses to be bullied by the much more aggressive Zombies. I believe she may take the dominant role over time due to her steady personality.
I didn't choose this chick, but if I had known her, I would have.”
Thank you for sharing your review of this great chick! It is always special when an unexpected addition turns out to be such a perfect fit. The Gold Kissed Granite Olive Eggers is a wonderful blend of beauty and confidence, calm and big green eggs! We truly appreciate you giving her a chance, and we are so glad she has become such a valued part of your flock.
“We named this sweet girl Terra (like latin for earth) for her green eggs! She was very skiddish at first, but now at 2 weeks she loves hopping up and hanging out (but does not like to be pet yet). She is feathering out the fastest of all 13 different breeds I have and you can see her gorgeous feather designs already! She seems to be very mellow with the other chicks and I have never seen her mess with any other chicks.”
Thank you so much for sharing this sweet story. Terra is such a meaningful name, and it is clear she is already a special part of your flock. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and it means a lot to know she has settled in so well and is bringing you so much enjoyment- that feather pattern and poof will be gorgeous when she fully feathers!
“I have 3 olive eggers that hatched in June 2025 and they’re all adults now- living with a silkie and silkie Easter egger that I also purchased from here and they’re are soooo so sweet, seem to enjoy my company and don’t mind being picked up. They are prolific egg layers and have done just fine laying through this very frigid winter we’ve had in Virginia.”
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with your Gold Kissed Granite Olive Eggers! It is wonderful to hear how well they have matured and how comfortably they have blended into your flock. We are especially glad to know they are both personable and dependable layers, even during such a cold winter. That balance of temperament and productivity is exactly what we strive for. We truly appreciate you choosing My Pet Chicken for your flock and sharing such thoughtful feedback!
“Our gold kissed olive egger chick, June, arrived very healthy and lively when she arrived from MPC . June is now an adult and laying almost every day the most beautiful olive green eggs. She is also very sweet to people and the other chickens. Definitely one of our best eggs layers and loveable girls overall.”
Thank you for sharing this review and for telling us about June, in particular. These are new exclusive breed to MPC and we are so happy that you love the breed. Laying those beautiful olive eggs and being sweet, as well as gorgeous, is exactly what we planned. This review will no doubt help others in making their decision to add the Gold Kissed Granite Olive Egger to their flocks!
