i suspect that is about the way it breaks down... the problem is that with the F2's the olive color tends to be all over the charts some just a dark green and some a very pretty dark olive... the nicest colored egg i have gotten came from a F2 hen... but u get allot of browns and greens as well... next year ill be breeding my 1st F3's and i expect about the same from them...
I am on the verge of starting a little olive egger hobby breeding. I have copper marans (blue and black) and will be getting Ameraucanas. I have a general idea what to expect from crossing those. Olive eggs. But what happens when you cross two olive eggers? Do you get 25% blue egg layers, 50% olive eggers and 25% dark brown egg layers? Or do you get 100% olive eggers. And what is the color of the olive eggs? I saw a computer generated color chart of olive eggs where they had really green eggs at the bottom line of the picture (top two levels were blue x dark brown and olive x blue, and olive x dark brown). I am still trying to understand what the last line is a cross of. Is that olive x olive? Thanks!
