Olive Eggers are bred for egg color, productivity, and flock compatibility, making them a great addition to backyard flocks. Egg shade can vary depending on genetics and generation, though we selectively breed for deeper, more consistent olive tones. These birds are active, adaptable, and perform especially well in free-range or enriched environments.
