THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY!
Introducing Earth Angels, a special-edition collection of our finest multi-generational Olive Eggers, Backcross Olive Eggers, and Black Copper Marans. These extraordinary birds have been carefully crafted across generations to produce the richest, most earth-toned eggs imaginable — spanning deep mossy greens, muted olives, sage, speckled chocolate browns, and russet red. No two baskets will ever be the same, and that is the beauty of Earth Angels.
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, paint, and jet black to the soft salmon of Legbar expressions — with or without crests — every hatch is a kaleidoscope of beauty and vigor.
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, Splash, Cuckoo, and Black Copper)
- Crested Cream Legbar
- Silverudd’s Blue
- Welsummer
- Bielefelder
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 utility and robustness of Bielefelder
The result: a living mosaic of earth’s most natural tones, expressed in both feather and shell... Some with sex-linked traits that are sexable at hatch.
