Oh, no - sorry - she sold them as Olive Eggers (definitely over-priced). It was someone on the OKC board that warned me not to get too excited.
You have to remember that to get olive eggers you have to outcross. That means there can be no gaurantee until they lay as to what color it...
Question. Shocking, I know. Last year I bought 2 dozen "olive egger" hatching eggs from someone on BYC. Someone on this board (can't remember who, sorry) warned me that they might not lay olive eggs. They don't. They lay brown eggs. SUPER FAIL! I sent her a message, no reply. How...

Sure, when the weather is a bit warmer.
No way I'm getting rid of these. The eggs are actually very good looking. I'm considering trying to see if I can get a line laying nothing but these. I now wish I hadn't had the roo that parented these hens, over for dinner one night.
LOL...
