Olive & Easter Egger

Olive & Easter Egger

Standard

“Easter eggers” refers to a planned cross breed chicken that carries the blue egg gene, allowing hens to lay a variety of egg colours. They are not a standardized pure breed but are popular for their colourful eggs, friendly nature, unique appearance and often very hardy.
  • Created from planned cross breeding between Copper Marans and Cream Legbar
  • Mature weight for standard type is 2.5 – 3.4kg
  • Fast maturing – First eggs around 7-8 month
  • Medium to large sized eggs, expected to lay between 230-280 per year.
  • Broodiness – Low
  • Maintenance – Low

Marbar are a unique hybrid created by crossing Marans and Cream Legbars. Marans are known for their strong build and rich dark brown eggs, while Cream Legbars bring excellent laying ability and blue egg genetics, thanks to their Leghorn heritage. Females grow into efficient-sized layers, while males develop into decent-sized birds, making Marbar a practical dual-purpose option for any backyard flock.

One great advantage of this cross is that the chicks can be sexed at hatch by markings on their head. This can be especially helpful for keepers wanting to know the sex of their chicks early on.  

From our current breeding line, Marbar girls are expected to lay light to olive-green and brown shades eggs. All beautiful additions to any egg basket!
