Were the F2 Olive Egger Colors as Promised? Cackle Hatchery 1Yr. Review

I am mixed on this one. I ordered these birds with the expectation of beautiful egg coloration. There are a few pretty olive eggs, but NONE of the other vibrant colors they advertised. I am impressed with the vigor, productivity, and looks of the breed, but very disappointed as to coloration, which is why I ordered initially.

I had the easter egg chickens with light blue eggs. After they self bred i was getting olive eggs.

I don't know anything about this subject, but I do like how your setup looks. 👍

[@DesertGardensHomestead]

Haha! Thank you TunA!

I have an interesting take on egg quantity. It really makes you think long term on whether you want a " factory" or a "pet" when selecting the breed. Assume all chickens lay the same number of eggs. Lets say 600. If you get a chicken that lays 200 per year they will lay for 3 years. At 300 per year they will lay for 2 years. If they are pets (not harvesting the birds after 2 years) i would recommend people getting a lower laying number per year if they are pets/hobby. Does that make sense to you? Everyone seems focused on qty per year but all chickens will lay the same number over their lifetime. Worthy of a video as most people don't look at it from that viewpoint.

[@DesertGardensHomestead]

That is an interesting perspective. Personally, none of my birds are pets. I will have a productive flock for a few years and replace then with their offspring and then sell the entire flock that's a few years old for a sizeable discount. That cuts down on deaths, issues, low egg production, etc. There are a few I keep until they die, but it's usually roosters I have a soft heart for. A rooster that is very personable I tend to take favor on and keep. Good Comment my friend!

@@DesertGardensHomestead its a worthy topic/video for new people getting chickens and fits within the scope of your channel. I'm not sure that info is out there. Most vids are focused on production. The average backyard flock owner would want longer viability for the love of their chicken over bigger production over a shorter time. They are not selling or butchering them. They are probably 95% of the owners.

[@DesertGardensHomestead]

@heronthere Great point yet again. I will research it and follow through with your recommendation. I didn't even know that and I've been raising chickens for a decade or better.
