Olive Egger
The genetic selection for the Olive Eggers has been done Centurion Poultry through the Vario-Ovo project. The Olive Eggers will produce 290-300 eggs in 52 weeks of lay. This Father to the Olive Egger carries the Dominant Blue Gene. The mother is a Rhode Island Red. The Cross between the Blue Gene and Gold Gene produces a beautiful Large to X Large Green/Olive Egg. This simple cross produces a hearty hen and a voracious forager. 85% percent will be a Solid Green while 15 to 20 percent will be a light to dark brown egg. The offspring feathering will be around 80% Black carrying the color from the Black Copper Maran while 20% of the offspring will be predominantly red with carrying the recessive color from the Rhode Island Red hen.
In 2012, Art started helping out at Freedom Ranger Hatchery. It didn’t take long for the newest hatchery to be added to the family—initially known as Art’s Hatchery, and now Hillside Hatchery. Specializing in egg-layer breeds, the newest of our hatcheries is already well-established, providing high-quality birds for sale…just like the rest of our family of hatcheries at Freedom Ranger.
