    The Olive-Egger thread!

    No. I kept 3 wheaten hens and hatched all spring into summer. Then I sold all the amerucanas and olive eggers but the one hen. I was just wondering if I was understanding the genetics correctly and to see if anyone else has had a similar experienced.

    There was not any other rooster. I had sold the one in the first picture with some of the hens at least 6 months before I had started collecting eggs.

    Color gene question?

    Color gene question?

    I free range my chickens and have been collecting my Wheaten Maran eggs to hatch. I have one blue copper maran hen and I can tell the difference in her egg. But now they are starting to look similar. If I understand the color calculator the wheaten x blue chicks will not be produce any wheaten...
