Description
Due to popular market demand for more and more egg color varieties, we at Dunlaps’ are now offering two Olive Egger varieties. The Backcross Olive Egger is a cross between Dunlaps’ F1 Olive Egger hen and a French Black Copper Maran rooster. This cross allows for a deeper olive egg to be produced while maintaining a more consistent color throughout laying as compared to an F2 Olive Egger. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the cross they are unable to be sexed as baby chicks and are sold straight run only. However, if you must have hens, our F1 Olive Eggers are available sexed. As this is our first year offering the Backcross Olive Egger, not much is currently known about the breed’s characteristics, but you can expect a black feathered bird, potentially with red accents. We at Dunlaps’ will monitor this breed over the next year and have further information for the 2027 season. Thank you for your understanding during our experimental phase.
