My Olive Egger ended up laying chocolate brown. It’s a pretty egg, and I was a teensy bit disappointed. Luckily somehow the 3 BYM chicks my hen hatched last year lay green eggs. I just want happy healthy hens also, but different colors are nice…seems olive eggs are not a guarantee.
Hopefully it will improve enough! I switched to all-flock when the chicks moved in, and by about 14 weeks I think I started mixing in a few scoops of layer until the pullets were all old enough for the full switch.

I switched from all-flock to layer and I think egg quality is better as well. They also get a scoop of BOSS and whatever produce, dairy and meat scraps we have.
We had it bad yesterday but today seems slightly better. I’m hoping this clears up soon. I couldn’t breathe when waiting with the kids being picked up at school.
