Ameracauna and Marans would likely produce an olive, if not darker. I'm not sure about anything else, I'm not really a chicken genetics person even if I try to be.
Me either. I'm still trying to figure out what this hen is...was in the wrong chick bin at Tractor Supply. They had her in with RIR. She lays an Ivory color egg!
I named her Mystery...she surely is one.

Welsummer/Easter Egger mix? Those are breeds that we got from Tractor Supply. I'll search closer, I want to find out this mystery!

Pun intended :D
 
Seems funny, I have either had green egg layers, and longed for blue ones, now I have blue egg layers and wish I had green eggs. It is like if you have straight hair an want curly, or have blonde hair and wish to be brunette.

If by spearmint you mean light green (blue over slight tinted egg) many of my Raraku tend to lay that color. I haven't gotten any new photos in a while but the egg on the right in the nesting box is from one Raraku hen and the one in the top photo is from a different Raraku hen. They are a landrace from Easter Island rather than a breed. :)

I think specific strains of marans. I know I've seen them before
My Marans did but as they're getting older the color is more brown, less brown/red. I used to see purplish or maroon hue from the bloom, but not so much anymore. Not sure why.

I got a few "Marans" at TSC & they're laying light eggs, maybe they're Australorp & were mislabeled?
