My new "olive egger"...
Our take
Meet my delightful little surprise, the “olive egger” that turned out to be a stunning blue laced gold Wyandotte! At just three weeks old, I noticed gold striations in her feathers and thought, “That’s a bit peculiar.” Little did I know it would take me far too long to realize the truth behind her feathered beauty. Instead of the olive hue I anticipated, she’s blossoming into a breathtaking blend of blue and gold. While I may have been a tad embarrassed by my mix-up, I’m definitely not mad about this charming twist! Join me in celebrating the quirks of chicken keeping and the unexpected delights our feathered friends bring into our lives. Who knew chicken parenting could be so egg-citing?
 | At 3 weeks old, she started developing gold striations in her feathering, and I thought, huh, that's odd. It took me an embarrassing number of weeks beyond that to realize that my "olive egger" is turning out to be an absolutely gorgeous blue laced gold wyandotte. I'm not mad about it.
