Some of the Marbar girls got a pen upgrade today! โ˜€๏ธ

These girls are F1 Olive Eggers (Cream Legbar x Copper Marans) and are laying a beautiful, rich shade of green - the odd speckled and heavy bloom too.

I find the Marbars to be really inquisitive and quite smart. They very quickly become your best friend if you slip them an extra treat or two!

I plan for this pen to be for my premium Olive Eggers, so once I know whoโ€™s laying what, Iโ€™ll keep the best, boot the rest, and add some of my other favourite girls (F2 & F3). ๐Ÿฅฐ

Iโ€™ve got some sample packs on the way as well, so I can test my Olive Egger boys to ensure theyโ€™re carrying a blue gene! ๐Ÿงฌ

Some exciting finds in the pullet/POL pen this morning! F1 Olive Eggers, Easter Eggers and Copper Marans (splash) in this pen. These guys will be left to mature for a little longer before being added to any breeding pens. I think this OE girl, when I work out who she is, will definitely be added to my premium OE pen!๐ŸŒป

(All pekins sold! Olive Eggers, Blue Copper Marans & Easter Eggers available from Friday.)

Mixed colours, unsexed (hens mostly wheaten and splash). Chance of smooth-feathered or frizzle. Rooster carries a cuckoo gene (heโ€™s a different line to the hens), so 50% off offspring will also be cuckoo.

These guys are full of personality, yet docile. They make the best pets (or therapy chickens!). Iโ€™ve found this line to be reasonable layers (more consistent than my silkies) and are just super lovely to have around. Perfect for smaller backyards and families with young children!
