About This Breed
Olive Eggers are bred intentionally for egg color, consistency, and overall flock compatibility. With each generation, we select for improved egg depth, temperament, and health rather than novelty alone. They are active and personable birds that do well in backyard flocks. We focus on multi-generation lines to provide more predictable traits and reliable olive egg production.
