**At Humblebee Hatchery, we hatch on a pre-order basis, meaning we only incubate eggs that have already been reserved. This helps ensure every chick has a home waiting for it and prevents unnecessary hatching. Because of this, some orders may have a wait time. Please expect approximately 2–3 months for day-old chicks, with juveniles (4–12 weeks) and grow-outs (12+ weeks) requiring additional time as they must be raised to the appropriate age before going home. We appreciate your patience and are committed to raising healthy, well-started birds that are worth the wait!**
 
Estimated wait times vary by breed, season, fertility, and hatch success, and we will keep you updated throughout the process.

More info: An Olive Egger chicken is a popular hybrid bird, created by crossing a blue-egg layer (like an Ameraucana) with a dark brown-egg layer (like a Welsummer or Marans) to produce unique olive-green eggs, often with speckles, and are known for being hardy, friendly, and good backyard layers with diverse appearances, though they aren't a formal breed. These chickens vary in looks but consistently offer beautiful, earthy-toned eggs, making them a favorite for adding color to an egg basket.
