I have a Black Copper Marans Rooster as well as a Wheaten Ameracauna Rooster. I also have Blue egg laying hens and Black Copper hens. My question is which cross would get the best Olive Egger? BCM Roo over a Blue Egg layer or Ameracauna Roo over a BCM Hen? Any combination or suggestions are welcomed. This is just a project I thought I might play with this year. Thanks for any and all help!!

If you're trying to get the darkest olive color. I would go with a BCM hen and a ameraucauna rooster. That way you know how dark the copper maran egg color is which would determine how dark the olive color will be
