    Explain to me egg color genes...will this make an olive egger?

    Hi friends!! I just added 2 Whiting True Blues to my flock. First of all, wow...they are beautiful birds! My question is, my roo is a French Black Copper Maran, am I right in thinking that if I breed them, their babies will be olive eggers? I appreciate the answers!

    Will this cross make an olive egger?

    I have a "Welsummer" that lays light green eggs (I suspect she is a welsummer X cream legbar) and a French Cooper Maran roo. I put some of her eggs in the incubator on Monday. Am I right in thinking that those babies would lay a darker green egg?
