Earth Angel Chicks - The Olive Collection (Local Pick-up)

Pre-Orders Are LIVE!
 
Introducing Earth Angels, a special-edition collection of our finest first-generation, multi-generational Olive Eggers, Moss Eggers, and Backcross Olive Eggers. These extraordinary birds have been carefully crafted across generations to produce the richest, most earth-toned eggs imaginable — spanning minty, speckled gems, deep mossy greens, muted olives, sage, and rich olive browns. 
 
This project represents the heart of our vision: to create birds that are as breathtaking in their plumage as they are in their egg baskets. From snowy whites to wheaten golds, from shimmering splash to the softest blues with silver, cream, and salmon expressions — with or without crests — every hatch is a kaleidoscope of beauty and vigor. This collection is the only collection where you have the potential to receive the wheaten olive egger and wheaten backcross. All chicks will retain their blue egg gene (either one or two copies), and are guaranteed to lay one of the incredible shades of green pictured. 
 
All chicks are sold straight run with a 50/50 chance of males v. females, and will include their hatched egg shells for your reference. However, we have multiple auto-sexing breeds in this collection, so you will know at hatch. 
 
What's included in this collection:
 
F1 Olive Eggers - Early in the season is the Wheaten Olive Egger, Wheaten and Blue Marsbar, and SilverSummer (Silverudd/Welsummer); later in the season we will have Icebars (Silverudd/Legbar)
Multi-Gen OE / Moss Egger
Backcross 1st and 2nd Gen 
Backcross 3rd and 4th Gen
 
The Earth Angels Gene Pool
This limited collection draws from some of the most exquisite heritage breeds, blended over years of work to create unrivaled Olive Egger diversity:
 
Ameraucana (White, Wheaten, and Blue/Black/Splash)
Marans (Wheaten and Splash)
Crested Cream Legbar 
Silverudd’s Blue
Welsummer
 
Through thoughtful backcrossing and multi-gen pairings, we capture the very best traits of each:
The depth of Marans' deep brown,
The clarity of Ameraucana blues,
The unique green layers of Silverudds,
The patterned charm of Legbar and Welsummer
 
The result: a living mosaic of earth’s most natural tones, expressed in both feather and shell— Some with sex link traits that are sexable at hatch. 
 
What Sets Earth Angels Apart

Plumage Variety – White, Wheaten, Splash, Blue, Salmon-Legbar, and more — crested and non-crested (the chicks from this collection will not result in a black bird this year)
Multi-Generational Depth – F1 through Fn, plus Backcross Olive Eggers for consistency in color and type.
Heritage Breed Backbone – Sourced from show-quality Ameraucanas, champion Marans, rare Silverudds, and classic European utility breeds.
Beauty + Vigor – Birds are selected not only for their visual appeal but also for health, fertility, and temperament.
Temperament is paramount. We do not compromise the docility of our birds just for their beauty. We see these as one and the same. Our birds are loving, affectionate, and for the most part, even the roosters live peacefully together. We do not compromise on this genetic necessity.
Raised Organically on NPIP-Clean Ground – Our focus is always on vitality and sustainability.
 
A few of our olive lines were chosen from the following original breeders, to whom we thank for their tireless work to perfect this beautiful creation:
 
Flockinhenhaus
Freshly Picked Chicks
Open Gate Farms 
 
✨ Earth Angels are more than just a collection. They are a celebration of heritage, of color, of diversity, and of the natural beauty of the earth. Whether you seek to enrich your egg basket with the most varied tones possible or to build your own breeding program with truly unique foundations, this limited collection is unmatched.
