Olive Egger - Chicks
Add a touch of wild beauty to your flock with our premium Olive Egger chicks from Slightly Savage Homestead!
While we love a classic olive-green egg, we believe the magic is in the details. That’s why our breeding program is specifically focused on producing hens that lay extraordinary shell characteristics. By raising these chicks, you're investing in future nesting boxes filled with breathtaking speckles, striking striping, and completely unique patterns.
When you take home our Olive Egger chicks, you aren't just adding great foragers and friendly hens to your backyard—you're adding living art.
What to expect from our Olive Egger lines:
-
Future Shell Art: As these chicks mature into laying hens, expect a heavy focus on speckled, heavily spotted, and beautifully striped blooms over a variety of green and olive base tones.
-
Flock Diversity: Our breeding pens are set up to give you a gorgeous, varied egg basket right from the start. No two eggs are exactly alike!
-
Healthy, Hardy Birds: Hatched from quality genetics and parent stock raised right here on the homestead.
Shipping & Live Arrival Guarantee The health and safety of our birds is our top priority. To ensure your babies spend as little time in transit as possible, we exclusively ship via Priority Express to guarantee live arrival. We pack our day-old chicks securely, including heating pads in cold weather to keep them warm for their journey.
- Live Arrival Policy: We stand behind our shipments. In the rare and unfortunate event of transit loss, all claims for deceased chicks must be made within 12 hours of delivery. Please contact us immediately with clear photos so we can address the issue.
- Home Care: Please have your brooder set up, warmed to 95°F, and ready with chick starter and fresh water before your babies arrive at the post office. Once the chicks are safely in your care, we cannot guarantee their continued health, but we are always happy to answer questions to help you get off on the right foot!
