Will I get an Olive Egger

[am040608]

My hen is a blue egg laying EE, my roo is a Dominique.
I just decided to put a few of her eggs in the bator. Yes they are fertile.
I'm thinking I'll get olive eggers??

You'll get an Easter Egger which produces green eggs. Technically an Olive Egger, but for a true Olive Egger you would need to cross to a dark-egging breed, such as a Marans.

I am hoping to add copper Marans later this year. I wouldn't be upset about green egg layers though. Our only EE lays beautiful baby blue eggs.

Yes you will get an olive egger crossing blue egg over dark brown. I have a pure Ameracuna roo not Easter egger over some marans and produce olive eggers

If I breed an olive egger to a marans or welsummer will I get a darker olive green egg layer?

well ypu might, or you will get a dark brown egg layer. to get green eggs for sure , you need to breed the brown egg layer with a blue egg layer.
